1/125 f/2.0, ISO 80, hand held. Caserta, Italy.

Cortile interno. Fontana ricotruita con le pietre originali dipserse qua e là in occasione del recente restauro - Il palazzo apparteneva alla famosa famiglia siciliana dei Paternò. Perché un palazzo così importante a Caserta? Il palazzo fu terminato nel 1775 ad opera del celebre architetto Barba (quello della certosa di Padula), influenzato dal Vanvitelli, sicuramente famoso del XVIII secolo e questo avvalora ancor di più la domanda. Quelli erano gli anni dell'edificazione della reggia di Caserta e così Lorenzo Maria Paternò, ministro della guerra dei Borboni, decide di edificare per suo figlio Vincenzo il grande palazzo e dà l'incarico all'architetto Barba. Singolare, molto singolare, il luogo in cui decide di edificarlo, ma su questo magari mi soffermo un'altra volta. Ho parlato recentemente col nipote, ormai sessantenne, dell'ultima custode dei Marchesi, proprietari credo fino agli anni sessanta. Un racconto che ha dipinto una nobiltà umile, umana, gentile. In quei luoghi si respira un'aria stranamente familiare, la grandiosità non è fredda, ma quasi domestica.

A meticulous historiography research, I must first of all congratulate for this, for your creative curiosity, this aspiration to knowledge.
The photographic repertoire then adds value to epigraphy.
From the shots shines all the emotion of the moment.
Good job! Well done ;-)
I greet you

Thank you Renni for the attention and generosity of your comment.
In fact, even if the exteriors are extraordinary and the staircase is the prototype of what will later be in the Certosa di Padula, I preferred to follow the emotional attaration towards what seemed to me moments of "imagined" life of the past centuries.
hello :-)
