It was created in 1978 by the sculptor Giuseppe Marinucci (Ascoli Piceno, 1925 - 1981) and it belongs to the last phase of his artistic production,
"Sybil"
was donated by his son Giacomo to the City along with another work,
"The Butterfly" , exposed at the Palazzina Azzurra on the
occasion of the exhibition dedicated to the artist in August
2008.
Located at the beginning of Alcide De Gasperi Avenue and
enhanced by atomized warter and light plays, the "Sybil" is
about two meters high and was built, like the "Butterfly",
by assembling recycled ferrous materials that gives life to the
fascinating mythological figure that has enchanted generations of
artists and which gives its name to the mountains that characterize
the Piceno.
"Giuseppe Marinucci - writes the critic Armando Ginesi - was a great manipulator of matter, capable to be in tune with it in order to give voice to feelings".
