The Reggia di Caserta is hosting a two-day training program on October 7 and 8, 2026, titled “Dallo stress alla creatività,” focusing on stress management through yoga, meditation, and bodily practices. The free public initiative, organized within the MiC 2026 training catalog, takes place inside the Sala Conferenze “Raffaello Causa.”
Institutional Framework and Pilot Project Design
The initiative emerges from an official collaboration between the Soprintendenza ABAP for the provinces of Caserta and Benevento and the Direzione Generale Risorse Umane e Organizzazione del Ministero della Cultura. The project stems from an input by Mariano Nuzzo, Maria Candalino, and Mariangela Mingione, with Nuzzo and Candalino acting as curators. The curriculum aligns with the objectives outlined in the 2026–2028 Ministerial policy directives, which emphasize organizational wellbeing and professional growth to maximize public value.
The program addresses the legal obligations tied to workplace stress evaluation mandated by Article 28 of Legislative Decree 81/2008. By introducing somatic therapy and meditation into a cultural institution, the organizers aim to transition theoretical risk assessments into tangible physiological interventions for staff and interested attendees.
