The ninth edition of Maestri alla Reggia is underway at the Royal Palace of Caserta, bringing four leading figures from Italian cinema to meet the public between October and December 2026.
Promoted by the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" and hosted at the Reggia di Caserta, the series is built around four evening conversations with actors at the center of contemporary Italian film. The announced guests are Jasmine Trinca, Anna Foglietta, Riccardo Scamarcio and Serena Rossi.
The 2026 programme
The edition runs from October to December 2026 and is structured as four separate meetings, all scheduled at 18:00:
- 29 October 2026 — Jasmine Trinca
- 4 November 2026 — Anna Foglietta
- 20 November 2026 — Riccardo Scamarcio
- 11 December 2026 — Serena Rossi
Trinca opens the series. Her conversation is moderated by journalist Federico Pontiggia, according to the official Reggia announcement.
The first three names were confirmed by both the Reggia di Caserta and the University of Campania. The fourth date reflects an update: the Reggia announcement described the final meeting as still being defined, while the official event site now lists Serena Rossi for 11 December.
The Reggia announcement also notes that Riccardo Scamarcio received the Orizzonti award for best actor at the Venice Film Festival.
A bridge between cinema, university and territory
Maestri alla Reggia is presented as the cinema series of the Vanvitelli University. Independent coverage describes it as a bridge between cinema, higher education and the local area, with the meetings held in the upper vestibule of the Reggia complex.
The project is organised by Cineventi under the artistic direction of Remigio Truocchio, with the support of the Reggia di Caserta and collaboration from the Comune di Caserta, the Associazione Amici della Reggia and the Camera di Commercio.
Free admission, but booking is required
Participation is free, but places are limited and advance booking is required.
According to the official sources, admission is subject to available tickets, with priority given to Vanvitelli University students and staff. Ticket collection is permitted until 30 minutes before each event.
Because reservations open on specified dates and capacity is limited, readers planning to attend should check the official Reggia di Caserta announcement and the official event site at maestriallareggia.it for the current booking links before travelling.
For visitors, the format makes the series easy to combine with a visit to the palace itself: an early arrival leaves time for the Reggia complex before the 18:00 conversation begins.
