Meraviglioso! La reggia di Caserta è spettacolare, la nostra guida la signora Novella una persona a modo simpatica e di una cultura enorme, ci ha spiegato tutto in maniera sentita e a me personalmente ha fatto commuovere. Lo spettacolo della nostra Italia è di avere questa ricchezza da vedere, ma anche di persone come Novella, ricchezze da sentire
