The Belvedere di San Leucio is a former royal hunting lodge located on the hills of Caserta, southern Italy.
It was transformed into a silk factory by King Ferdinand IV in the 18th century.
This monument symbolizes the changes and advances in technological industries during the period of enlightenment in Italy.
