The House of Culture has hosted the presentation of this work, "possibly the last one devoted to Cehegín" says its author, who is on developments since the image came from Italian soil Cehegín bound until today.
No doubt this book will appeal to many others filled with disbelief, as it contains assumptions as to the size of the Virgin was not carved in the workshops of Nicola Fumo, a sculptor who is credited with the authorship, but in those of Mariagliano and after consideration and investigation of numerous documents.
In fact, claims to have felt at times "writing on the razor's edge."
Among others, 'The imaginary voice' contains important stories that have been saved for history, like Francisco Salzillo, after hearing about the beauty of the Virgen de las Maravillas, traveled to Cehegín to contemplate.
It also leads on the back a relic from the packaging in which it was protected up to move to the center of Verona for its restoration.
This book, which becomes the first book to be written on a baroque image, has been funded by the Directorate General of Culture, then headed by José Miguel Noguera, who was also a tribute during the event for the great contribution Cehegín he made to his years in the Regional Government.
Mayor Jose Soria told those present that "this story is written from the heart by a person who wants the Virgen de las Maravillas."
