Abstract

La "Reggia di Caserta" (Caserta Royal Palace) including the park and the gardens are certainly one of the major tourist destinations in Campania (Italy). The waters of the Park have the undoubted and peculiar characteristic of reaching the Park
through an almost entirely underground route of 38 km. The collection of water takes place from numerous springs traced by Vanvitelli at the foot of Monte Taburno, in the province of Benevento. This study confirms the high quality of the water, and the presence of fifteen plant species, including six phanerogams, two mosses and seven algae.
