Artist's Comments
The Monti Sibillini in medieval times were known all over Europe as the kingdom of demons, necromancy and fairies.
So, the Pilato Lake has been, since medieval times, if not before, visited by magicians and necromancers, that would go there to consacrate their evil deeds [..] "essendo volgata la fama di detto lago (...), che quivi soggiornano i diavoli e danno risposta a chi li interroga, si mossero già alquanto tempo (...) alcuni uomini di lontano paese et vennero a questi luoghi per consacrare libri scellerati e malvagi al diavolo, per poter ottenere alcuni suoi biasimevoli desideri, cioè di ricchezze, di onori, di amenosi piaceri et simili cose" [Leandro Degli Alberti, Descrittione di tutta Italia, 1557]  |

 reports, 1d 11h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
