The history of the Reggia started on the 28 August of the
1750, when Charles of Borbone , king of the Two
Sicilies from 16 years, purchased
from the heirs of the family
Caetani Acquaviva the
level territory, to the
feet of the Tifatini Mountains,
where a small they were found
village and a tower
pyramidal,a precise "torrazzo",.
The cost o fthat transaction removed
from the regal boxes
good 489.343 dukedoms (as
noticed from the documents
of the epoch), but the expense
was held necessary
for the realization of the
project that the sovereign caressed for a long time:
: her
& military quot;reorganisation
and administrative of the kingdom"
(as writes the architect
Gian Marco Jacobitti ,
Superintendent to the Good
Environmental and Architectural
di Caserta in oneof his
work). An initiative that
didn't want to confine itself
to build a palace that
it competed with splendidnes
of Versailles , but that
it aimed to give to the kingdom one
new capital, distant from the sea and from the offenses
that could come, as
it had been shown by the
English in the 1742 ,
when this had
threatened with bombing
Naples (and as it had happened over
half century later, when to
moor in the waters
introduced himself Nelson with his
canon to force
a surrender of the heads of the
Republic ofPartenopea in the
1799 and to hang to the more
tall yard of his
flagship Francesco
Caracciolo.
