Talking Lost in translation!

Hi, I took a trip to Milan a while ago (beautiful city!) and I took a picture of my girlfriend with some graffiti in the background but i've never ever known what it means in English...

It says "OKKUPAMO LA REGGIA DE CASERTA"

I am currently taking a latin classes so deciphering this message is top of my agenda! I did some research and La Reggia De Caserta seems to refer to the actual Palace of Caserta, which makes the meaning of the graffiti even more interesting, as I can't find a translation for the word "Okkupamo" in any of my Italian Dictionaries, maybe its slang?

Any help people?

Yes CJ is right, it is the same of "Occupiamo" which means making an occupation to protest.
