La Sibilla
''La Sibilla'' is a bimonthly word puzzle magazine (six issues per year) founded in Naples in 1975 by Guido Iazzetta. The editorial staff is at present composed of Edgardo Bellini (nickname ''Edgar''), Alessandro Cassani (''L'Incas''), Rosanna Gastaldi (''Pratolina''), Maria Maraviglia (''Malia'') and Giuseppe Sangalli (''Pipino il Breve''). Alfredo Baroni, Roberto Mangosi, Sandro Mosca, Giorgio Noliani, Simona Simone, and Enrico Viceconte are just a few of the illustrators who work for the publication. The name is based on the famous Cumaean Sibyl, a legendary woman with prophetic powers, who according to tradition lived in a cave near Cumae. The Sibyl expressed her prophecies in a cryptic way, for which reason she has always been associated with the idea of mystery and enigmas. Monthly from 1975 to 1978, then bimonthly, the magazine has so far published 32 supplements (''Quaderni della Sibilla'') and is one of the longest established puzzle magazines ever published in Italy. ...
