The magical story of the Apennine Sibyl

If you choose to come on holiday to us you can find out, a few kilometers, ancient secrets
Not everyone knows that the Sibillini hide, for many centuries, one of the most mysterious and fascinating secrets of our country: the 'riddle of the Apennine Sibyl, the subject of travel and exploration, since the fifteenth century., By distinguished scholars, adventurers and writers of renown. Mount Sibilla has always held a special and silent for all those who knew or heard about it. The Sibyl seems to have been, in fact, the magical home of an ancient oracle, called Sibilla, just as the prophets of the classical age.

In close proximity to Mount Sibilla, there is a cave: the entry point into the unknown depths of the mountain, where would live Sibilla in a beautiful underground palace, surrounded by treasures and bridesmaids from enchantress beauty.

The first to tell this story was, in 1430, Andrea da Barberino, with its "Guerrin Mean" novel, highly successful work that he met a wide spread across Europe. A few years later, will then be the gentleman Provençal Antoine de La Sale to narrate, in his work "The Paradise of Queen Sybil", of a journey made ​​up to the summit of Mount of the Sibyl in search of the cave, with a suspended account in press reporting before its time, and the magic of the legends that surrounded, for some time, the top of that mountain.

And with these legends will compete later Flemish geographers, well-known men of letters such as Ariosto, famous writers such as Flavio Biondo and Leandro Alberti, as well as legions of knights, nobles and adventurers who will go on top of the mountain to groped to make entry into the fairy world and wonderful. Many, without making return.

Today the entrance of the cave collapsed and appears inaccessible because of the many attempts in the twentieth century to use forced entry using powerful explosives.

But the magic is still intact because in 2000 some researchers have done soil tests on the summit of the mountain, making use of advanced technologies such as the measurement of radar echoes, the survey response confirmed the presence of cavities underground. Perhaps the Sibyl watches over this beautiful mountain and do not want to be disturbed.
