In the middle of the 16th century, Prince Vicino Orsini created, in his estate at Bomarzo, a labyrinth of symbols, Il Parco dei Mostri di Bomarzo.

He populated the sacred wood with monsters and tortoises, obelisks, nymphs and giant statues. After Vicino Orsini's death nobody cared any longer for this jewel of mannerist art. Now, after centuries of oblivion it has been saved and restored.
