Hercules slaughters Cacus

Another of the recurring themes in the garden:

Hercules slaughters Cacus

The fight of good against bad

The battle between the giants.

The battle between Hercules, mythological hero, who barehanded slaughtered Cacus.

Next to the statue is an interesting inscription which describes (in part) it's significance.

"Se Rodi fu già del suo colosso pur di questo il mio bosco anco si gloria ed per più nun poter fo quanto posso"

If Rodes was the city of the 100 colusses this statue (and the whole park) could easily be yours.
