Overview

In this new appointment we will start from the magnificent Villa Reale in Monza. We will discover the history of the grandiose residence commissioned by the Empress of Austria Maria Teresa for her son Ferdinand, governor general of Lombardy. From the Lombard treasures we will then move to Tivoli, a name that since the 16th century has been synonymous with wonder due to the presence of two jewels declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO: Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este. The Meraviglie cameras will then move to Palermo. City with a thousand faces, a crossroads of different cultures yet so integrated with each other. We will visit the Zisa castle known as La splendid, and then the splendid Cathedral of Monreale, both commissioned by William II.
