Group of Diana and Actaeon - Caserta

The famous group of Diana and Actaeon, the work of the sculptors Paolo Persico, Pietro Solan and Angelo Brunelll.Actaeon, who had dared to look as Diana while she bathed, has already been transformed into a stag, and the hounds that will tear him to pieces are about to launch themselves on him. The second part of the group shows Diana, surrounded by Nymphs, as she prepares to bathe; chronologically, therefore, it precedes the first. The Caroline Aqueduct To the sides of the Cascade are two roads which both lead to the grotto from which flows the water brought there by the imposing Caroline Aqueduct. This viaduct-borne aqueduct was specially built by Vanvitelll to provide the Park with water.
