Description
The title
The song, with lyrics by the journalist Peppino Turco and music by Luigi Denza, was written back in 1880. It was inspired by the inauguration, that same year, of the first funicular railway on Vesuvius, and helped to make tourists and Neapolitans familiar with the new means of transport. Although the authors only took a few hours to compose Funiculì Funiculà, it was a huge success and boosted the popularity of Neapolitan songs all over the world.
