Bomarzo is a novel by Manuel Mujica Laínez written in 1962, later adapted by its author to an opera libretto set by Alberto Ginastera. The opera won the Pulitzer Prize for both collaborators.
It is set in the eerie and surrealistic Italian Renaissance town and palace of Bomarzo and concerns the morally and physically deformed Pier Francesco Orsini, Duke of Bomarzo.
