This monograph by Maria Carla Tartarone focuses on the architectural and decorative works undertaken between 1765 and 1805 at the Belvedere di San Leucio and the associated Colonia di San Leucio (Caserta). It examines how the royal programme of Ferdinando IV di Borbone and his court transformed the site into a combined manufacture, residence and model community: the study traces the interventions on the Belvedere palace, its gardens and the workers’ housing of the colony, analysing stylistic, urban‑architectural and material aspects. The volume contributes to the fields of architectural history, industrial heritage and urban planning of royal sites by detailing one of the most intriguing experiments of Enlightenment‑era social and manufacturing architecture in southern Italy.
