テヴェリーナのルニャーノ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

It is a large boulder of shaped and carved peperino stone, located in a forest between Bomarzo and Chia; It was rediscovered in 2001 by the Archeotuscia association and the archaeological company Pro-Ferento. The structure has 26 steps carved into the volcanic rock, with a height of 8 meters in the upstream part and 16 meters in the downstream part. It is believed to have been an Etruscan rock altar, probably dating back to the 6th-7th century BC, although some hypotheses suggest even older origins.

Magical place to visit in all seasons

Delightful medieval hamlet perched on the slopes of Monte Rotondo, surrounded by chestnut woods. The town is divided in two by a characteristic staircase that crosses it from top to bottom.

The Sacro Bosco known as Monster Park for the grotesque sculptures present is the oldest sculpture park in the modern world. Near Orsini, lord of Bomarzo, he built it starting from the middle of the 16th century. Overcoming the dominant idea of the Italian Renaissance garden, Vicino creates a work that is not easy to decipher, fitting into the new naturalistic architectural vision of the end of the Renaissance. Immersed in lush nature, the park takes the form of a hermeneutical labyrinth populated by symbolic sculptures that escape classical composure giving way to a Mannerist taste for the bizarre and the occult. A visit to the park is, however, a particularly interesting experience as it combines art, magic and literature whose references are not always decipherable.

Given its shape, it could recall a religious altar, but it is really an ancient and mysterious pyramid discovered only in 1911.

The Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo is the oldest sculpture park in the modern world. It was conceived in the 16th century by the architect Pirro Ligorio on commission from Prince Pier Francesco Orsini, lord of Bomarzo. The Sacro Bosco is also known as the Monster Park for the presence of sculptures depicting mythological animals, divinities and monsters scattered in a surreal natural landscape.

🗿🙃🗿 “Mom, there is a monster in our garden!” – “No, honey – there are dozens of them!” This is how one could imagine a dialogue between mother and child among the Orsinis. However, the marriage probably remained childless, so there was never a dialogue and Pier Francesco Orsini, scion of a well-known noble family, had to look for other options to burn money. In 1552 the time had come: over the next 30 years, volcanic peperin rock was transformed into sculptures the height of a man and a house, until the Sacro Bosco (Sacred Forest) was completed. After his death, the complex fell into oblivion and the now weathered sculptures were not rediscovered until the middle of the 20th century. Abandoned for centuries, the forest became popularly known as the Park of Monsters (Italian: Parco dei Mostri). 🏴‍☠️🤪🏴‍☠️ What Francesco Orsini intended with the Monster Park and what the characters are supposed to say is still a mystery. Maybe it's all just a game of deception; on the Ertruscan bench he had engraved: "Voi che pel mondo gite errando vaghi di veder meraviglie alte et stupende" - You who wander in the world, greedy for great and glorious wonders, come here... 👀🗿👀 So we look at the huge Proteus-Glauco from afar, get up close to the monumental sculpture of the fighting giants Hercules and Caco, puzzle over the female figure on a turtle and can assign Pegasus. I don't want to list all the sculptures that can be found north of the crooked house (Casa Pendente). I do want to mention one, however: the Orcus. A man's huge head petrified in a scream of terror. Through the gaping jaws of the Orcus, one enters a dark chamber where a table and a stone bench await the visitor. By the way, the sculpture always reminds me of the King Crimson album cover: “In The Court Of The Crimson King. https://images.app.goo.gl/X4bbcSPL42tR6cFf8

ocated on a hill overlooking the Tiber valley, Montecchio preserves the charm of the Middle Ages intact with its alleys, squares, the light tones of the stone and the mighty walls with defense towers. With a vaguely elliptical shape, the village is one of the best preserved in the valley. Soft hills of olive trees draw its territory. Dense woods make the landscape vivid and lush in the summer, while autumn paints the Mediterranean scrub in orange and red.
