The website
for the Funicolare di Castel San Pietro
outlines its history. "...
was designed in 1939 as a means of
transport for the students of the Fine
Arts Academy. B. Cignaroli, that was
located at Castel San Pietro, and
remained in operation from 1941-1944,
but then ceased operating because of
the war. The destination stop
and tracks remained abandoned for
decades. while the starting station
eventually became the
Theatre/Workshop, opening there from
1975. In 2011 the experimental
theatre was moved elsewhere to make
room for refurbishment of the
Funicular, which reopened in June of
2017."  The railway is 159 metres in length and climbs at an angle of 37%. The vehicle has a rated capacity of 25 although that might be rather snug.         |
