What was the year Vesuvius was first climbed?

Mount Vesuvius was first climbed in 1906 by the Italian scientist and explorer, Francesco Caracciolo. This ascent marked the beginning of a more scientific approach to studying the volcano, which had a long history of eruptions, including the catastrophic eruption in 79 AD that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. Climbing Vesuvius has since become a popular activity for tourists and researchers alike.
