Dream of Italy

A Grand Palace and Pizza

Season 3 Episode 303

Did you know that there's a 1,000-room palace in southern Italy that rivals Versailles? We travel to Caserta to visit this very special Reggia (it even made an appearance in Star Wars). The province is also home to captivating ancient ruins where gladiators once fought. And a little town nearby just might be home to the world's best pizza made by the lauded Chef Franco Pepe.
