Michele Sanvico

Michele Sanvico is an Italian physicist and freelance writer committed to the production of advanced inquiries into contemporary topics and matters of public concern, as well as deep investigations of specific historical events and processes. Data mining, sorting, cross-correlation and structuring in a framework model is key to his multidisciplinar work.

He is currently the world leading expert in the legendary tradition of Mount Sibyl and the Lake of Pilate in Italy. His comprehensive research on this topic, summarised in his "The Apennine Sibyl - A Mystery and a Legend" series of articles released on Researchgate.net and Academia.edu, has opened unprecedented perspectives in the study of the two legends, which were once widely known across Europe, and the object of unprofitable studies for more than a century. With the establishment of a connection with the peculiar seismic nature of the territory of central Italy inhabited by the two legendary tales, a fundamental aspect that was completely overlooked in all previous studies, a fresh insight has been finally gained on this specific tradition, paving the way to a new understanding of the whole legendary framework.

He released "The Eleventh Sibyl", a fictional novel based on the legendary tradition of the Apennine Sibyl. In 2021 he released his new book: "The sky alone was over our heads - The nineteenth-century discovery of the Sibillini Mountains by the members of the Italian Alpine Club".
