Bomarzo sits in the Italian hills. Another town with winding roads that offer blind turns on the edge of cliffs. Follow these curves down long enough, and you are led to a wooded valley called Sacro Bosco. In Sacro Bosco lay monolithic carvings in stone; statues of gods, dragons, nymphs, and elephants that rise covered in moss. This is Parco dei Mostri, born from the mind of a wealthy Italian hunchback. It is quiet, it is fantastic, and it is ancient. Cryptic quotes guide the walker along crooked paths. This is where the rabbit hole leads, this is wonderland.
