94 (left) One of the monsters in the garden of the Villa Orsini at Bomarzo, that dates from the second half of the sixteenth century. As was the case with other villas in the Cimini area, at Bomarzo a medieval stronghold was converted into a Renaissance villa. Owing to the site the gardens were laid out in the valley below, where natural stone outcrops were sculpted into every kind of gigantic figure, and surrounded by a wood which has long since vanished. The gardens are owned by Signor Bettini and are open to the public.
