A "supplemental ticket" from the 1940s (about 1944), for going to the

At
the time these tickets were being used, a visitor obtained them at the office,
across from where the modern restaurant is located.
Then
they could take the old "pre-1950s" foot train across Region I to the
coliseum.

T.26. 1939. Ticket for Strada Automobilistica Vesuvio. Photo courtesy of Rick Bauer.
The road was built by the Matrone brothers to reach the Great Cone of
Vesuvius from the Boscotrecase slope.
The Matrone road was built by the engineer Gennaro Matrone, following the
Royal Concession of 13 June 1892.
Destroyed and almost erased by the violent eruptions of Vesuvius several
times, the road was rebuilt in 1918, when it became paved and the cars could
cover the 8.5 Km to the piazzale at an altitude of one thousand meters.
In 1924 Aurelio Matrone had a house built for the caretaker and the ticket
office (now the forestry station).
After nearly thirty years of work, various destructions made by sudden lava
flows and subsequent reconstructions, the road was inaugurated on 4 January
1927.
It is now a walking track in the Vesuvius National Park.
T.27A. Vesuvius. Strada Automobilistica Vesuvio ticket (10th August 1973). Vesuvius car road ticket for one person.
Issued at Boscotrecase at a cost of 400 lira, presumably with 4% (16 lira) stamp duty.

Note: The company is not responsible for any damage during the journey to people or vehicles.
