Built in 1552 by architect Pirro Ligorio (completed the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Rome, after the death of Michelangelo, and Villa d’Este in Tivoli), these refined Italian gardens are the creation of an eccentric “grove” in doing sculpting blocks of lava stone, enigmatic figures of monsters, dragons, exotic animals and mythological subjects, a small house pendant, a funerary temple and fountains.
