bosco
Dense wood with walks and clearings within it, close to the spirit of the formal wilderness. The sacro bosco contained groves suggesting those inhabited by deities in Antiquity, and was associated with a perilous journey, so carved figures and various structures were set among the trees, as at Bomarzo, near Viterbo. 2. Wood or grove, often a place of shade and retreat surrounded by evergreens. Boschetto is a diminutive of bosco. (Curl & Wilson, 2016)
