Yesterday afternoon, around 6 p.m., the Royal Palace of Caserta welcomed Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes, who arrived at the Vanvitelli complex ahead of the band’s concert in Piazza Carlo di Borbone. The musician from the British band—which has sold over 100 million albums worldwide throughout its career— toured the Royal Palace, paying particular attention to the Royal Staircase, noting its classical rigor and Baroque grandeur, with its monumental central flight and the side flights leading to the Upper Vestibule.
During the tour, he showed interest in the Court Apartments and asked about the origins of the museum, the marble, and the history of the complex designed by Luigi Vanvitelli. Rhodes also admired the frescoes and decorated surfaces of the Royal Palace, noting the colors and materials of the Bourbon residence.
“I’d seen so many pictures of the Royal Palace of Caserta, but I wasn’t prepared for all of this,” he commented at the end of the visit.
