    These allegorical figures, which come from the hand of Pirro Ligorio, the architect of the Sacred Wood of Bomarzo, are what remains, together with the Benches of the Four Seasons, of the Fonte Orsina complex built in the eastern part of Penna by Maerbale Orsini in 1550.

    An impressive entrance gate. The train ride appears to be no longer in use.

    It's a shame, perhaps it's no longer maintained.

    The pillars at the entrance are locally called Mammalocchi: large allegorical figures in travertine, attributed to Pirro Ligorio, an active author in the culture of gardens and Mannerist architectures of the 16th century. The crushed rose sculpted at the base is the heraldic emblem of the Orsini and identifies the ancient belonging of the estate.
    The Mammalocchi stand, in fact, "at the entrance of a private villa" that belonged to the Orsini and today belongs to the marquises Del Gallo di Roccagiovine, without describing the villa in plan or elevation.
