Rome to Capua
This is a top pick! ... 1000 feet over the surrounding area, where I stayed until night fell. I really do appreciate a good view. The historic royal palace in Caserta, right next to Capua, was a must-see before I left the area. It is closed on Tuesdays, so I didn’t get to ...
Versailles of Italy
Caserta, ITALY Only 1 hour by car north of Naples lies the sumptuous and elegant palace of Caserta. Parts of the palace interior were seen in "The Phantom Menace" by George Lucas. It was raining intermittently this Saturday morning in Naples. I got ...

1187. Must Reach the Train Station (Italy 164)
Day 071: 2.3 kms, 2 hours—day total: 31.3 kms After Macerata, I plunge back into the darkness, hoping Recale and my train station won't be too far off. Luckily I make it in good time and am able to take a nice little stroll through the heart of ...
1161. Other Side of the Tracks (Italy 138)
Day 065: 1 hour, 3.0 kms Here there are actually 3 towns snuggled right next to each other, and south of the track I'm immediately in another "C" town, Casapesenna. Here I have no trouble finding the narrow plaza with a sculpture of some giant ...
1181. Unfinished Business up North (Italy 158)
... —I’ve got 4 disconnected segments of my "Superhike" that need to be connected to each other… And I have to reach Caserta, my one last “must see” spot of this region… So that’s where I’m headed today. I catch ...
1164. Sprint to the Finish (Italy 141)
Day 065: 1 hour, 1.0 kms It's getting dark as I head on south to my next town, along a busy little Main Street and then up a side street to a little plaza where I have a peaceful strum. I’d better start looking for a way to get back to ...
Recuperation before the start of my program
... it on a nice spring or summer day when the flowers are all in bloom and it is not raining. Other than Caserta, I mostly just relaxed- watched movies in Riccardo's movie theatre and strolled around Arnara. It was a great way to relax and recuperate ...
1163. Being Invited for Coffee (Italy 140)
... teacher—but he still prefers to talk to me in Italian, only switching English when I get really stuck. Here in Italy nobody seems amazed or flattered to hear me speaking in Italian, as they do in Morocco when I speak Moroccan Arabic. ...
1160. Soaking in the Winter Sun (Italy 137)
Day 065: 2 hours 6.0 kms It's a sunny winter day, and that means that all the retired guys head outside to chat together on the sunny side of the street—quite a cheerful, noisy sight. When I reach a little plaza I figure I don’t want ...
1158. Hoping for a Boring Hike (Italy 135)
Day 065: 3 hours, 3.0 kms Days like yesterday shouldn't come too often. You can only enjoy so many absolutely spectacular views, and then, well, ...
1171. Reaching another Cluster (Italy 148)
Day 066: 4 hours, 7.0 kms I'm still amazed by my unforgettable impromptu concert for the roadside prostitutes… although now that I think of it, I really shouldn’t have shaken their hands at the end… those hands have surely done some ...
1165. Bonus Town by Accident (Italy 142)
Day 065: 1 hour, 2.0 kms From San Marcellino I head straight east towards Aversa where there's both a train station and a subway station to Napoli. But along the way I pass what is definitely a City Hall with a board giving the town announcement ...
1162. Roadside Shop Town (Italy 139)
Day 065: 2 hours, 2.0 kms Villa di Bruno is pretty much just a one street town, lined at first with Chinese shops and miscellaneous stores, and then, in the heart of it the typical family forts with giant arched entrances. But up one side alley I ...
1183. Magnificent Extravagance (Italy 160)
... whenever I want to visit the most beautiful, photo worthy spots it starts raining—first on the Amalfi Coast and now in Caserta. But I'm not going to let that dampen my adventure… after taking refuge in a supermarket for a little bit, I head ...
1159. Ruins… sort of (Italy 136)
Day 065: 1 hour, 3.0 kms Supposedly I did my research this time and there's supposed to be one town after another all the way back to Napoli. But after a long open stretch of countryside, I start getting suspicious and I veer off to the north. ...
When Can I Move In?
... from Napoli brought me to the quaint town that is Caserta. Far from quaint however, is the Reggia Vanvitelliana...the Palace of Caserta, which can most aptly be described as colossal. (I want to say palatial, but I suppose that's a given!) So just ...
