After the October 8 announcement previously covered by Positive Times, a concrete step follows: Giardino della Camelia was inaugurated at the Royal Palace of Caserta on October 14 and opens to the public from October 15. The former Hercules guardhouse now houses a bistro and a space for cultural workshops. [1]
The partnership brings together the museum and the EVA, Terra Felix and CARLA social cooperatives. The palace says the project will provide ten stable jobs for women leaving situations of violence, with training led by Rosanna Marziale. This is a stated employment commitment, not ten independently verified hires; the opening itself is confirmed. [1]
The bright side
Reusing a historic building is linked to a programme intended to support women’s economic independence. [1]
One idea, in simple words
An old guardhouse at the Royal Palace of Caserta has a new purpose. Giardino della Camelia was inaugurated on October 14 and opens to visitors from October 15. It contains a bistro, a small place to eat, and cultural activities. The opening had already been announced; the museum now confirms that the inauguration has happened. [1]
The museum works with three social cooperatives: EVA, Terra Felix and CARLA. The project plans ten stable jobs for women leaving situations of violence. Chef Rosanna Marziale leads the training. Learning kitchen skills in a place that welcomes visitors is one example of how these activities connect. The ten jobs remain a stated commitment, rather than hires we have independently verified.
