The Napoli-Portici was the first italian railway line; it was built by the Bayard Company and opened in 1839. It now forms part of the Naples–Salerno line.The initial line was a double track of 7.25 kilometres (4.5 mi). It ran from the current site of Corso Garibaldi in Naples to the royal palace at Portici, at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, now used by the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Naples Federico II.
