Located
in southern Umbria, 60 miles north of Rome, Bomarzo Monster Park (il Parco dei
Mostri di Bomarzo) was built in the 16th century by an eccentric nobleman who
filled his estate with bizarre, surreal statuary as a memorial to his wife.
Stone
monsters are scattered throughout a wooded park, where kids can climb on moss-covered
statues and explore a strange crooked house. You can even picnic inside the mouth
of the Orc!
