The trip to Bomarzo was to see a park that was started in the 1550's by Prince Orsini. He had a artist create great sculptures out of the rock on the land. As you will see, Orsini had an interesting sense of humor or, perhaps, sense of reality. Due to lack of heirs, the collection was abandoned for four centuries until the local Bettini family restored it. I think they run the park today.
