Omar Galliani's Monumental 'L'eco della Sibilla' Triptych Debuts in Ascoli Piceno
Omar Galliani's impressive triptych, 'L'eco della Sibilla' (300×600 cm), created with black pencil on poplar wood, is set to be showcased at the Pinacoteca Civica in Ascoli Piceno, Italy, starting June 24, 2026. This artwork, commissioned through a participatory initiative supported by the Marche Region and co-financed by the EU, is inspired by the tale of the Sibilla Appenninica. Galliani, who has regional connections, previously displayed his work in 2004 and 2023. He utilized the Pinacoteca as a studio, crafting preparatory pieces for the local collections. The triptych will be exhibited in the Sala della Vittoria before its permanent placement at Palazzo Saladini Pilastri, which is part of a broader urban renewal effort that includes revitalizing Parco Saladini Pilastri for contemporary art displays.
