Caserta's Reggia and Beyond: Summer Art, History, and Nature

Caserta, known for its 18th-century Reggia built by Charles of Bourbon and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, offers a multifaceted cultural landscape this summer. The Reggia hosts Michelangelo Pistoletto's 'Metawork' in the Gran Galleria until September 1, featuring installations that engage with the Baroque interiors, and his permanent outdoor piece 'Il Terzo Paradiso' in the Bosco Vecchio. At the Belvedere of San Leucio, Antonio Nocera's exhibition 'I viaggiatori delle nuvole' runs until September 15, curated by Claudio Strinati, with 100 works exploring travel and identity. The Serre di Graefer project, named after botanist Johann Andreas Graefer, revitalizes the English garden area with shows, workshops, and plant sales. 'Alba alla Reggia' on August 10 and 31 offers sunrise visits with yoga and classical music. The 'Reggia in arte e design' initiative transforms the former convent of the Passionist Fathers into a contemporary art research space.
