This morning I drove the short distance to Parco Dei Mostri. The park was built by the Duke of Bomarzo in the late 1500's in memory of his wife. Full of allegorical, fantastic and massive sculptures made even more magical by the fact that the trees are shedding their seed pods and which float through the air and catch light. A sacred River runs through most of the heavily wooded park as well. If you are ever in Rome, especially with children, this place is definitely worth the trip! http://www.sacrobosco.it
This monster was big enough that a tall person can easily walk in the mouth.
These giants were wrestling, note the railing next to them for scale.
Found an elephant for my Friend Elaine:)
The leaning house.
