The Bomarzo "Park of Monsters" (1551/52) was planned by Pirro Ligorio (who completed the Cathedral of St. Peter in Rome after the death of Michelangelo and built the Villa d'Este in Tivoli) on commission of Prince Pier Francesco Orsini, who was mourning the death of his wife Giulia Farnese. The couple had no heirs and the Park was left to rot for almost fourhundred years, until the Bettini family restored the park and opened it to the public. War-elephant and Roman soldier.
