Description

Il Parco dei Mostri, denominato anche Sacro Bosco o Villa delle Meraviglie di Bomarzo, in provincia di Viterbo, è un complesso monumentale italiano. Si tratta di un parco naturale ornato da numerose sculture in basalto risalenti al XVI secolo e ritraenti animali mitologici, divinità e mostri.

L'architetto e antiquario Pirro Ligorio su commissione del principe Pier Francesco Orsini progettò e sovrintese alla realizzazione, nel 1547, del parco, elevando a sistema, nelle figure mitologiche ivi rappresentate, il genere del grotesque. Alcuni studiosi, erroneamente, facevano risalire la "regia" a Michelangelo Buonarroti , mentre altri, in particolare per il Tempio citavano il nome di Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola. La realizzazione delle opere scultoree fu probabilmente affidata a Simone Moschino. L'Orsini chiamò il parco semplicemente "boschetto" e lo dedicò a sua moglie, Giulia Farnese .
