The Sibillini Mountains, in the central Apennines Italy, are mountains surprising us at first sight for the beauty of their particular morphological conformations. They boast a variety of panoramas that range,  from quiet and soft landscapes, characterized by undulated hills like dunes and wide plateaus (similar to those of Tibet and Mongolia), to Dolomite like peaks, overhangs, gorges and rivers of great charm and dizziness. Of very ancient human settlement, at the crossroads between Umbria, Marche, Lazio and as a border between various ancient populations (Picenes, Umbrians, Etruscans, Latins) these mountains have very long history and traditions reach of different influences. 

Since the ancient times this place has fascinated and attracted emperors, magicians, knights, artists, with its culture inextricably linked to the age-old presence of the mythical figure of the Sibyl.

Oracle, shamaness, goddess, sorceress whose origins can be found in classical times and  go back in the centuries to the neolithic cult of the Mother Goddess, The Sibyl was a woman expert in the art of divination, who lived with her handmaids fairies in a cave hidden in the crown-shaped mountain taking her name. A myth who generated a  rich heritage of cultured and popular legends making their fame of “magic mountains” par excellence, and are a true cradle of fantastic culture in Europe. 

The entire Sibillini territory is a magical place, populated by fantastic creatures like the “mazzamurelli goblins,  the fairies who weave horsehair in the tales of old local women and  characterized by iconic places like the Lake of Pilate frequented by magicians and necromancers from all over Europe who went there to immerse their “magic book of command” (Cecco D’Ascoli  and  Merlin among them) or the suggestive Hell’s Gorges.
