Translation[edit]
Anyone who wants to compare the article and improve my translation, please do so - I appreciate it's patchy. I also couldn't deal with the infobox on the Italian page. Harris (talk) 20:35, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Regardless of what the original Italian states - and I have no argument with the translation - I think it incorrect to describe the horizontal section as a 'funicular'. A funicular is a system of two cars connected by a cable round a large pulley wheel driven by a motor. The weight of the descending car helps the other car to ascend. [1] This system in Genova comprises two separate and unconnected cars that share a horizontal shaft but have separate vertical shafts. Normanthehat (talk) 21:51, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Not a funicular[edit]
+1 for "not a funicular". In Italian the word "funicolare" could be used in a broad sence meaning any kind of transportation with a cable traction: aerial lifts, surface lifts or cable railways[1]. Apparently this meaning was used in it:Ascensore Castello d'Albertis-Montegalletto and its sources. The horizontal part of this elevator is simply a cable railway.--Vаdiм (talk) 13:18, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
