What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Sacro Bosco

   1h 30min

   Those who visit the Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo follow an initiatory itinerary where the various stages, symbolized by the different figures, "correspond to the various tests that the soul must carry out to rise". In this context, every figure and every scene in the Monster Park would therefore represent one of the necessary steps to follow a path towards knowledge and truth.

2. 2

   Villa Lante

   1h 30min

   Villa Lante was voted as owning the most beautiful park in Italy in 2011. The foundation of the villa dates back to 1511 and was commissioned by Cardinal Gianfrancesco Gambara al Vignola. Only in 1566 was the Villa completed. The current name was attributed to it in the seventeenth century when it passed into the hands of Ippolito Lante Montefeltro della Rovere, the Duke of Bomarzo.

3. 3

   Palazzo Farnese a Caprarola

   2h

   You will have the opportunity to visit the wonderful park that reveals fountains with the most particular shapes, water jokes and sculptures that end with the "Casina del pleasure" (which we will see only from outside). You will admire all the terraces of the high gardens, with the baroque and "theater" fountains that close the park, the Fountain of the Rivers, the Chain of Dolphins, the water games of the arcades, the Giglio fountain. Finally, you will go down to the Hanging Gardens, where you will admire the beautiful Satyrs cave in the Winter Garden.
