The Zecca–Righi funicular (Italian: Funicolare Zecca–Righi) is a funicular railway in the Italian city of Genoa connecting the Largo della Zecca, on the edge of the historic city centre, to several stations on the slope of the Righi hill.
The line was originally built as a two-section funicular, with passengers transferring between the two sections at the station of San Nicola.
The lower section opened in 1897 and was entirely in tunnel, except for its terminals and the single intermediate station at Carbonara.
[1] Between 1963 and 1965, the line was completely rebuilt as a single section funicular, with a passing loop at San Nicola and retaining all the existing stations.
In 1990, the line was again rebuilt, with longer trains and platforms, and an increased haulage speed.
