Ludovica Caracciolo
"Also known as “Parco dei Mostri” (Park of the Monsters), Sacro Bosco is located in Bomarzo, about 60 miles north of Rome.
Sacro Bosco is a unique Renaissance garden filled with bizarre and surreal sculptures of mythical creatures, giants, and other strange figures. It was created in the 16th century by Prince Pier Francesco Orsini as an expression of his eccentricity and fascination with the grotesque.
Entrance fee: 13€ "

"Best reached by car, this sculpture garden lay forgotten for centuries before being rediscovered in the 1970s. It has served as inspiration for a number of artists including Salvador Dali and is located about 1.5 hours north of Rome downhill from the town of Bomarzo.
Tickets can be bought online or in person -- I recommend dedicating at least an 1.5 hours to exploring here."
