OFF TOPIC SHOW: Exploring the Sprawling Caserta Palace & the Raw Soul of Naples Italy

Step into a moment in time on Day 2 in Napoli, one of the most surreal travel days I've ever experienced: we started north of the city at the massive Royal Palace of Caserta, exploring its grounds, the secluded British Garden where Queen Maria Carolina once escaped for quiet among exotic plants and classical statues, then walking through the grand royal rooms and centuries-old paintings before launching the drone for epic aerials of this Baroque masterpiece. Speaking of royalty, Queen Margherita of Savoy's 1889 visit inspired the world-famous Pizza Margherita when a local chef topped it with red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil to match the Italian flag.

From there we hopped the surprisingly clean Naples subway (putting LA and NYC to shame), witnessed the impossible beauty of the Veiled Christ at Sansevero Chapel, then dove into the chaotic Quartieri Spagnoli, where shrines to Diego Maradona dominate and we watched the street erupt when a woman opened a window right in the middle of the massive Largo Maradona mural--quickly learning not to talk too much shit around locals.

We wrapped the day eating classic slow-cooked onion Genovese pasta in the streets, with no camera crew or Hollywood budget--just one guy hosting, editing, and flying the drone so the raw, real Italy feels like you're standing right there next to me.
