	Luigi Vanvitelli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luigi Vanvitelli (Naples, May 12, 1700 – March 1, 1773, Caserta), an engineer as well as the most prominent 18th-century Italian architect, practiced a sober classicizing academic Late Baroque style that made an easy transition to Neoclassicism.
		His technical and engineering capabilities, together with Vanvitelli's sense of scenographic drama induced Charles VII of Naples to commission the great project of his palace at Caserta, intended as a fresh start for administering ungovernable Kingdom of Naples.
		Vanvitelli worked on the project for the rest of his life, for Charles and for his successor Ferdinand IV.
