Pier Francesco Orsini, also called Vicino Orsini (July 4, 1523 - 1583), condottiero and patron of the arts retired to the estate he had inherited at Bomarzo after the Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis. Here he created the celebrated Parco dei Mostri which he called sacro bosco (sacred wood or grove), implying that it was far more than a place of relaxation and pleasure. The garden contained a Classical Temple, a Leaning House, a Mouth of Hell, many garden-sculptures (some extraordinary, even by Mannerist standards), an exedra, a nymphaeum, a grotto, fountains, and inscriptions from Ariosto, Dante, and Petrarch.
