The city of Caserta is internationally renowned for its magnificent Bourbon Palace, also known as the Versailles of Italy. In the 18th century, Charles VII, the new King of Naples and Sicily, decided to build a large palace outside Naples, identical to Versailles. His project was grandiose and included: the Royal Palace, the renovation of the palace in front, a large and extensive park, the surrounding city, and an aqueduct. However, the entire project could not be completed due to a lack of funds and also due to Charles VII's departure from Naples to assume the crown of Spain as Charles III. The Palace is shaped like a violin. Around the 16th century, alchemists and violin makers created such harmonious and meticulously studied forms, highlighting the constantly evolving art. Indeed, during a visit to the Palace, music can be appreciated by walking around and observing the shop windows and art exhibits.
