Tennessee-born novelist Linda Lappin author of the Indie classic,The Etruscan, takes on the mystery of Italy's celebrated Monster Park in her new novel Signatures in Stone. The park, located in Bomarzo not far from Rome, originally created in the 16th century by a Roman nobleman as a memorial to his wife, leads visitors on a journey through hell represented by its eerie sculptures of ogres, mermaids, and giants. Art historians are puzzled by its meaning: is it a pagan itinerary of initiation, a surreal illustration of its patron's weirdest nightmares, an allegory for political events, or a series of emblems concealing an alchemical formula for making gold?
