@@CapitanZere Yes, funicular are a small train that used to transport people up the mountain. For the second question, I don't know what question do you want to ask, so I will just answer you both. For this song: to commemorate the opening of the first funicular railway on Mt. Vesuvius. Composed in 1880, and published on the same year. For the railway: They just wanted to see the Mt. Vesuvius easier without climbing up the mountain, so they built this railway up. It was facing bankruptcy due to high cost (a pound, which is very high at that time) and almost collapsed, but it was saved by John Mason Cook. Everything went well until 7th April, 1906. Which is where the Mt. Vesuvius got a huge eruption that wiped out the top of the funicular and its cars and buried everything else in volcanic ash. Although the railway as far as the hotel was quickly dug out, the funicular had to wait. It was not until 1909 that the funicular was rebuilt, and finally reopened in 1910. Year later, 1911. Another eruption has destroyed the funicular upper station building which had once again to be rebuilt. Everything went well until 1929, there's a eruption once again, and this railway are now facing bankruptcy once again, due to the political situation in Italy, the nationalism. Until March 1944, where the eruption destroyed the funicular, and this time it cannot being rebuild due to the low income from the electric railway, and Thomas Cook (father of the John Mason Cook) decided to sold the railway to the Circumvesuviana railway in 1953. The electric railway was still operating, but partly closed as an improved road was built to Eremo. Until 1955, it was being completely closed. But the chair lift was still operating until 1984. If both of these things are not what you wanted to know, feel free to ask. 😉
Suena bien ¿Cuál es el contexto historico?
It was written to commemorate the opening of the first funicular railway on Mount Vesuvius.
There's nothing involve with war or anything.
@@erich27754 Oh, estuve leyendo algo al respecto ¿Un funicular es una especie de tren pequeño? ¿Porque lo hacen? Perdón, no se sobre cultura italiana.
