Virgil is undoubtedly one of the most relevant writers of Greco-Latin antiquity and an enigmatic figure. Much is unknown about his life. In this blog I published a few weeks ago an article about Hermann Broch's novel that deals with the last days of his life, entitled The death of Virgil (if you are interested you can go here).
The legend of the castle is fascinating, surrounded by a certain esotericism. The place, as shown in the photos, is beautiful. Now, I didn't know that the whole halo of devotion had been woven around his figure. In Venezuela, it has happened with the poet Cruz Salmerón Acosta, in his native town, Manicuare, where he is almost a saint for the settlers.
Thank you for your gratifying post, @ladyrebecca.
