Caserta Curiosities

Driving to the Royal Palace, Caserta featured the worst
traffic jam we have yet seen, anywhere in the world--again,
no accident, no construction, just the simple matter of getting
Italians to merge two lanes into one and allow entry from a
side street



















In the Royal Palace, a delicate reminder from















The very tactful School of Public Administration















Marble everywhere...marble veneer, that is




















Kings of Naples..room for six more, too















One of the kings was an avid modeler--here, a model of
flying sailing ships

















Touchdown!















Bird-cage clock




















Baroque trash-can; seriously




















And: the very best nativity scene we have seen yet,
anywhere
















Closer up detail
