Perhaps the ravishing appetite of Satan, one of four zoomorphic camini mascherni designed by Giovan Battista Scultori, will rouse guests own hunger at Villa Della Torre, designed by the sculptor’s mentor and employer, architect Giulio Romano, in Fumane, Verona, in the 16th-century. This particular allegorical example was cast after one of the gaping gargoyle-esque grotesques in the Baroque 16th-century Bomarzo gardens.
