Description

La funicolare di Orvieto è un impianto a fune di tipo funicolare, che collega il centro storico della città, con la stazione ferroviaria. È gestita da BusItalia.

L'impianto fu costruito su progetto di Alessandro Ferretti, inaugurato il 7 ottobre 1888 e originariamente chiamato funicolare Bracci, in onore del finanziatore orvietano Giuseppe Bracci Testasecca, che ne finanziò la costruzione. Venne costruita con il sistema a contrappeso d'acqua, sistema usato a quel tempo anche per altre funicolari italiane, come la genovese di Sant'Anna e, nel Lazio, la Valle Oscura - Rocca di Papa. I serbatoi d'acqua che servivano ad appesantire la vettura a monte furono posti nel sottocassa delle due vetture. Una volta messa in funzione, permise di collegare in maniera rapida la città di Orvieto con la sua stazione ferroviaria.
