The Monsters of Bomarzo -- [A 16th-century horror show built in a lovely Italian garden]
During the last week, I visited Tuscana and Lazio region in Italy. Besides the beautiful landscape in Tuscana, I also visited a place is not very famous and only few tourists visit, but it is a fantastic place in my opinion. Absolutely deserved to visit!
Bomarzo, a village in Lazio at the foot of Mount Cimino, possesses a unique work, the Villa of MARVELS, also called the Sacred Wood or Park of Monsters. It was designed by Prince Vicino Prsini and the great architect Pirro Ligorio in 1552.
The park is unique, even if it belongs to the erudite architecturainaturalistic culture of the second half of the sixteenth century. Refined Italian style gardens follow geometric and perspective rationality, with embellishments.
The most famous thing of this garden is that is populated by grotesque sculptures and small buildings located among the natural vegetation.

I would like to share with you some photos token by me about these sculptures, they are really astonishing, especially they are made in about 500 years ago.

原諒我一看到全英文的就只能光看圖片了😂
話說一路看下來，我一會兒覺得像是在國內（尤其是烏龜那張！）一會兒感覺在國外，最後那個地圖讓我想到⋯高中地理老師說的，長得像女子高筒靴的就是義大利⋯
和你一样的感觉！有一种在四川大山里看到这些石雕的感觉。
