The Royal Palace of Caserta awoke at dawn to music, dance, and thousands of visitors. The second installment of "Dawn at the Royal Palace" closed with a record attendance: over 3.500 people entered the gates of the Royal Park starting at 4:30 a.m., taking advantage of the milder temperatures and an extraordinary experience.
The initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Culture Museum, allowed the public to discover some of the most evocative corners of the Vanvitelli complex through themed itineraries and live performances in the Bosco Vecchio and the English Garden.
The morning got into full swing at 6:15 a.m., near the statue of the Comber, where a narrative trail dedicated to the origins of the Royal Park was offered, accompanied by the music of Crusell's Concert Trio.
At 7:30 am, attention shifted to the Great Greenhouse of the English Garden. Here, the public enjoyed readings on the garden's history and a dance performance by the Arabesque Association, choreographed by Annamaria Di Maio and featuring music by Mozart and Crusell.
The event also featured musical performances by Progetto Sonora and the Sonora Wind Trio, with Antonio Torino narrating and featuring Antonio Puzone on clarinet, Simona Amazio on horn, and Alfonso Valletta on bassoon.
"The late August edition was a success beyond all expectations, confirming a growth trend that saw visitors increase by 1000 in just one month," said interim general manager Antonio Tarasco.
According to Tarasco, this is "a type of event and visit that absolutely deserves to be repeated, even on an extended scale, over a longer period of time." "The Royal Palace doesn't belong to the city of Caserta alone, but to the entire world, and therefore we need to think about large-scale initiatives," he added.
