Transfer to Caserta  by bus from /Roma Fiumicino Airport or Roma Termini Train Station and

meeting with the Architect Tartaglione , (a landscape architecture  expert) to visit Reggia di Caserta.

It is a  historic dwelling  that belonged to the royal family of Bourbons, a  Naples’ dynasty. It is  a “UNESCO World Heritage Site”

It is surrounded by a large park divided up in two areas: the Italian and English garden. The Palace was built at the behest of Carlo III di Burbone, attracted by the beauty of  Caserta’s landscape and yearning to give a prestigious governmental  residence to his kingdom, comparable to Versailles. At the beginning, the palace   was meant to be built in Naples, but Carlo, aware of the vulnerability position  of Naples, ordered to construct the palace in a safe site not far from Naples. Later, visit to duke and duchess Guevara di Bovino’s palace, today known as Villa Porfidia, ( it is named after the owners). The best era represented in the Villa is the XVIII century. The construction of the palace was ordered by the Guevara family,  close friends of the royal family, in order to live near  them, when    moving in to the Reggia di Caserta. The rooms of the villa are accessible  by a stair decorated with classic sculptures. Of particular interests are the home furnishings  embellished by frescos and good quality wooden ceilings. The garden is inside the

old fence and consists of a wood of  centennial  oaks, nowadays used a hunting area. There are also exotic plants, a fruit garden,  a grazing land, and a vegetable garden.

There are two significant periods which mark the history of the city; the medieval Lombard period, that is traceable through churches and town planning, and the Norman period, known as the time of the unscrupulous knights. Even though they subverted the history of the city, they increased its fortune. Salerno was known, throughout the Christian West, for its medical school, which earned the nickname of ” Hippocratica Civitas .” Nice visit to the Garden of Minerva, which is located in the heart of the old town of Salerno,  an area called ” Plaium montis ” during the Middle Age.
