Plot[edit]

This description of the plot is a combination of material copied from other sources:

"The movie opens in the enchanted garden of bomarzo (parco dei mostri) “monsters’ park” it is the 1645work of pier francesco orsini, (1528–1588), a patron of the arts, created the gardens. The design has been attributed topirro ligorio, a well known architect and antiquarian of the time." — was lifted from Orcus Mouth Sculpture Parco Dei Mostri, Bomarzo - hotel-vasilisa.ru @ https://4.hotel-vasilisa.ru/68, which is now only viewable in Google cache and is a Russian domain.
"The park of Bomarzo was intended not to please, but to astonish, and like many Mannerist works of art, its symbolism is arcane; for example, one large sculpture is of one of Hannibal’s war elephants, which mangles a Roman legionary, and another is a statue of Ceres lounging on the bare ground, with a vase of “fruits of the earth” perched on her head. The surreal nature of the Parco dei Mostri have inspired many artists for example Jean Cocteau and the great surrealist Salvador Dalí, who discussed it at great length." — was lifted from Authentic Provence – Gardens of Bomarzo @ https://www.authenticprovence.com/gardens-of-bomarzo/.
"The opera Bomarzo premièred in Washington in 1967." - was lifted from Gardens in Italy: Il parco dei Mostri di Bomarzo @ http://www.travelingintuscany.com/gardens/bomarzo.htm.

(Needless to say, none of the above is even a description of the plot.)

"While walking in a garden of statues of women, Ester and her friend Adele see two women kissing. Ester then dreams of kissing Adele and later imagines making love to her while she is in the arms of Oscar, her husband. She confesses her passion to Adele and also tells Oscar that she loves another. His jealousy takes over: he assumes it's a man, and he begs Adele to help him discover this rival's identity. Eventually Ester tells him she loves a woman. This makes him even less reasonable: he jumps between bewilderment ("Am I a cuckold?") and violent anger. After he gets drunk and figures out that Adele is the object of Ester's unconsummated desire,...." — was lifted from the IMDb plot summary @ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088155/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl.

Considering that all of the above is a rip-off, the last 37 words were also probably copied from a source I have not found yet. Per WP:COPYPASTE and WP:COPYVIO, I deleted the plot description. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 14:11, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
