Omar Galliani's 'L'eco della Sibilla' Unveiled at Ascoli Piceno's Pinacoteca Civica
The Pinacoteca Civica di Ascoli Piceno now hosts 'L'eco della Sibilla', a monumental triptych by Omar Galliani (born 1954 in Montecchio Emilia), created through a participatory project funded by the Regione Marche. The work, executed in black pencil on poplar wood panels (300x600 cm), was produced live in the museum's Sala della Vittoria, with masterclasses open to the public. It will find its permanent home in the Parco Saladini Pilastri, transforming the park into a cultural and social hub. In an interview, Galliani discusses how creating the piece within the museum's collection influenced his process, noting encounters with visitors and the inspiration drawn from works by Tiziano, Cola dell'Amatrice, and Vincenzo Pagani. The artist also reflects on the Sibyl's relevance today, drawing parallels between ancient oracles and modern technology, including artificial intelligence. The project was supported by Mayor Marco Fioravanti, Professor Stefano Papetti, and Nazzareno Verdesi.
