On Sunday, Oct. 18, Reggia Express, the evocative historic train from Naples Central Station to the Royal Palace of Caserta, returns.
The convoy of carriages from the 1930s and 1950s bound for Caserta will depart at 10 a.m. from Naples Central Station and, after a journey through history on the ancient wooden benches of the Centoporte and Corbellini, it will be possible to admire, at a special price, the Royal Apartments, the Royal Park and the English Garden of the Royal Palace of Caserta. In fact, travelers on the historic train will be able to take advantage of a reduced ticket (purchasable exclusively online), at a cost of 10 euros, to visit the entire Vanvitellian Complex.
The initiative is a collaboration between the Reggia di Caserta and the FS Foundation, of which MiBACT is an institutional member, to promote slow and sustainable tourism.
Along the journey aboard the Reggia Express, it will also be possible to taste food and wine products from the Domitian coast, thanks to the collaboration with Confcommercio. Four companies are involved: Telaro - wine production, OP Domitia Felix (an agricultural cooperative society from Mondragone), Petrone - an ancient distillery from Mondragone, and the reception facilities Mama Casa in campagna in Cellole and Mama Mare in Baia Domitia. Travelers will then be able to savor local delicacies, prepared by the chef of the Mama complex, and taste typical wines and liquors from the province of Caserta. “An extraordinary opportunity,” comments Umberto Cinque, provincial vice president of Confcommercio and president of OP Domitia Felix, “to promote the goodness of the coastline and allow Caserta’s productions to further establish themselves on the national and international scene thanks to the valuable collaboration with the Direction of the Reggia vanvitelliana and Ferrovie dello Stato.”
