The Royal Palace of Caserta again to be a TV set for an international production

From February 17 to 21, 2020, the Royal Palace of Caserta will once again star as a TV set for an international production. Thanks to the Campania Region Film Commission, the palace, royal park and English garden have in fact been chosen for the first season of a television series to be released worldwide next month.

The Royal Palace of Caserta will be invaded by emperors, knights, courtiers, soldiers and maidservants to be the location of intrigue, passion, plotting and fighting. Visitors will be catapulted back to the times of Europe’s great royal courts and have the opportunity to observe some film sets up close.
