Why Travelers Love This
Enjoy your private trip from Rome with your English speaking driver to Bomarzo. There are many elements that contribute to consider the Park of the Monsters of Bomarzo as an eminent example of an initiatory itinerary and not as a simple expression, although bizarre and unusual, of the Italian mannerist taste. Villa Lante in Bagnaia together with the Bomarzo Monster Park, represents one of the most admirable examples of an Italian mannerist style garden from the 16th century. Finally, Palazzo Farnese, in Caprarola, is one of the most beautiful Renaissance palaces in Europe. The vision of its high gardens is unique and wonderful, precisely because the Italian gardens, decorated with fountains, labyrinth hedges and caryatids (some of which sculpted by Pietro Bernini) are designed to be admired from above. A stop for lunch is included during the day ( fees at your own expense )

Those who visit the Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo follow an initiatory itinerary where the various stages, symbolized by the different figures, "correspond to the various tests that the soul must carry out to rise". In this context, every figure and every scene in the Monster Park would therefore represent one of the necessary steps to follow a path towards knowledge and truth.

Villa Lante was voted as owning the most beautiful park in Italy in 2011. The foundation of the villa dates back to 1511 and was commissioned by Cardinal Gianfrancesco Gambara al Vignola. Only in 1566 was the Villa completed. The current name was attributed to it in the seventeenth century when it passed into the hands of Ippolito Lante Montefeltro della Rovere, the Duke of Bomarzo.
