THE SIBILLA'S CAVE

It was Amadeo Maiuri who, in 1932, excavated and described what he found as follows: “a long, trapezoidal corridor with a high and majestic ceiling like the nave of a temple and a cave  with vaults and niches…..It was the Sibilla’s cave…..”  This location was also thoroughly discussed, the magic of the light, the sound that was tobe heard coming out of the cave towards the sea, was very similar to “the cave of the prophesy which transpired from the poetic vision of Virgil”.
