Where is the Sybil? Is she real? Is she good or bad?<\/p>\n
Children are fascinated by the history that has always conquered travelers and novelists and they can not stop asking questions.<\/p>\n
We are among the Sibillini Mountains, in the realm of fairy enchantress (for some) and demonic creature (for others), which, according to legend, lives in a naked and smooth cave situated on the summit of Mount Sibilla. Described as a virgin prophetess in the Aeneid, and as a beauty that enchants in the Renaissance: “The complexion had suave, charming shapes, Charmful language” (Andrea from Barberini, “Guerin Mean of 1473”).<\/p>\n
Explorers and the curious have always tried to discover the realm of the Sibyl, entering the cave through a narrow entrance, to bring testimonies of those enigmatic mysterious depths. Then suddenly that access was closed and the myth of the Sibyl remained to fascinate with its legend adults and children.<\/p>\n
To learn more, in Montemonaco (in the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains), is an interactive museum suitable for children, where you enter in a place that seems the cave of the Sibyl.<\/p>\n
This mountain is giant but gentle. We can climb it with our feet hungry for adventure. Before we tell explore with all their senses.<\/p>\n
Along the path we encounter trees, rocks and ants, meadows full of flowers. Then, we can paint what we saw putting so many colors on the white sheet (and our hands).<\/p>\n
In spring there are more than 50 species of wild orchids. After the climb, below us the meadows and hills look like a sea where big white clouds are moving fast.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
