The ruins, history, and preservation of the medieval Italian town of Ninfa are documented in this stunning photographic collection. About an hour's drive south of Rome, on the Pontinian Plain at the foot of the Monti Lepini lies Ninfa, a sensitive complex of ruins whose flora and fauna is only open to the public a few days each year. The fairy-tale remains of the castle, churches, houses, town walls, and rare animals have made Ninfa famous as the most romantic garden in the world and are captured in this breathtaking visual reference.
