The Giardino dei Tarocchi is, in fact, a descendant of Bomarzo, even if it comes four centuries later. It is after discovering the Sacro Bosco, following an initial revelation at Parc Güell by Antoni Gaudí, that French artist Niki de Saint Phalle finally committed to her vision of a garden, in the heart of the Maremman landscape. She began in 1979; it opened in 1998. It is a project so deeply rooted in her inner world that the unfinished works at her death were never completed. It represents the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot, archetypes that traverse time from cathedrals to fortune-teller’s tables. The sculptures rise up to 15 metres, shimmering, surreal, inhabitable: steel and concrete structures covered in ceramics, glass and mirrors. Esotericism, folklore, dream imagery, and above all multiple dimensions and narratives intersect in those years in Capalbio: Saint Phalle living within the park during its creation, together with her husband Jean Tinguely, who contributes several works; artists who collaborate on the sculptures; and architect Mario Botta, who designs the entrance pavilion. Here, guided tours are not permitted: each visitor must allow themselves to be carried by their own perception. After all, as we read once again in Bomarzo, “Animus quiescendo fit prudentior ergo”. The mind, in silence, becomes wiser.
