View of the fountain of Diana and Actaeon at the Royal Palace or Reggia di Caserta, Italy. The great cascade, a waterfall some 75 metres high plunges into the fountain. The fountain statue group consists of, the goddess Diana (on the right), the patron of chastity is bathing and is surrounded by nymphs. She takes offence when Actaeon the hunter (on the left) notices her and thus transforms him into a stag, he then defends himself against dogs that are tearing him apart. The 18th century Royal Palace or Reggia di Caserta is Italy’s most magnificent Palace and its immense park is one of the most dazzling and grandiose in Europe. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
