	Architecture, Poetry, and Number in the Royal Palace at Caserta - The MIT Press
		Although Vanvitelli was one of the most notable architects of his century, as Caserta was one of its major buildings, this study by a leading scholar of Baroque and Neapolitan architecture is the first book in English on the architect and his masterpiece.
		Caserta influenced much that came after: plans by Boullée for a new Versailles to return pride of size to France, buildings in both Imperial and Soviet Russia, palaces of the later British Empire, even the Pentagon.
		It shows that the Neapolitan poet and philosopher, Giambattista Vico, influenced the king to incorporate such mythic figures as Hercules and Aeneas into his genealogy and Vanvitelli to introduce their likenesses into Caserta's art, which is in turn integrated with the geometry of the palace's gardens and the numerical sequences of its rooms.

		Then next day TA has proposed we use a private guide to see the Palace in Caserta one morning then drive tp Pompeii for P.M. tour then stay in Sorrento that night.
		If you did Caserta 1st thing in the AM you could feasibly do Pompeii that afternoon but it would mean rushing a bit through the gardens and then you would not have as much time to really explore the farthest parts of Pompeii.
		We didn't, but it might be a good idea to buy a book at the palace bookstore because not all the signs describing the rooms have English translations.

		The Reggia di Caserta, designed by Vanvitelli, with its Park and English Garden, was built in the mid 18th century by order of the king of Naples, who wanted it to rival the Palace of Versailles.
		Vanvitelli, the most famous architect of the period, accepted the challenge, and today it is one of the most visited of Italian monuments, and is an interesting example of a royal residence along with those in Naples (Palazzoo Reale, Capodimonte, Portici) and in the provinces (San Leucio, Carditello and Persano).
		The park of the royal palace, considered one of the most beautiful garden in the world, is hosting, running from June 19, the second edition of “ Routes of Light “ which had a great success last year.

		The palace has 1,200 rooms (of which about 95 are open to the public) and 1,790 windows (obviously there was no shortage of maids who did windows in the 1700s).
		There is a giant cascade fed by an aqueduct which runs down to the palace, and there are many statues of mythological characters decorating the falls.

		I was wondering if it was possible to combine a visit to caserta and pompei/vesuvius into a one day trip from rome (returning to rome in the evening).
		It was precisely the lack of tourists that was appealing to me. It cost only 6 euros total to view the grand palace interior rooms and the magnificent, sprawling gardens behind the palace.
		The palace is very close to the train station (literally, behind it!) so it may be feasible to see Pompeii for 1/2 day, then on your way back up to Rome, through Naples, you can stop in Caserta, get out and take a picture of the magnificent palace, then get onboard the next northbound train.
