	Complesso Monumentale del Belvedere di San Leucio
		The restoration project of the Belvedere of San Leucio is the result of long and deeply studied analysis which has lasted for several years and which has involved the most representative exponents of architecture, of industrial culture and, in general, of the cultural sphere.
		The basic idea of the project which is still today in the mind of the Administration, is to equip the town with a tourist polyvalent structure able to absorb, at least partially, the attention of the 1 million visitors of the Royal Palace of Caserta every year.
		That is why the monumental area of the Belvedere is equipped with a congress centre, spaces for fairs and expositions, the courtyards can be used for cultural events and a didactic section is dedicated to the history of the building and silk manufacture, thanks to the support of multimedia techniques.

		The pyramidal structure of the figure group recalls Leonardo (whose cartoon for the St Anne was shown in 1506 in the Church of Santissima Annunziata).
		The work as a whole is structurally harmonic, from the figure group (dominated by the affectionate figure of the Virgin Mary who supports the Child and glances tenderly at the young St John) to the sweeping landscape (made luminous by the mirror-like lake which stretches from one side of the panel to the other).

		Emphasis on the quality rather than the quantity of the Belvedere's guests, however, made it something less than a gold mine for its owners, of which it already had had five by the time it was sold to Col. Charles H. Consolvo of Virginia in 1917.
		The structure is slightly asymmetrical with the west wing (Charles Street side) being fifteen feet broader than the east wing.
