The Borgo di San Leucio, located a few kilometers from Caserta, is a fascinating example of innovation and sustainability, as well as an important piece of Italian industrial and cultural history. Founded by the Bourbons in the 18th century, this village is known for its tradition in silk production and for being the first self-sustainable settlement in Europe. The history of San Leucio begins in 1778, when King Ferdinand IV of Bourbon decided to create a center for silk production, inspired by the processing techniques learned during his travels in France. The idea was to develop a silk industry that could not only provide jobs for local peasants, but also contribute to the economy of the kingdom. The village was designed as a model community, where workers could live and work in dignified conditions. Today, the Borgo di San Leucio is a fascinating tourist destination Visitors can visit the Silk Museum and the city.
