“The Garden at Bomarzo: A Renaissance Riddle” by Jessie Sheeler is a fascinating exploration of the enigmatic and surreal sculpture garden known as Sacro Bosco or the Park of the Monsters in Bomarzo, Italy. The book delves into the origins of the garden, which was commissioned by Prince Pier Francesco Orsini in the 16th century, and offers insights into the mind of its creator, architect Pirro Ligorio. The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs and drawings.
