Among the many visitors to the Marmore Falls, the figure of Lord Byron is unforgettable, to whom the square in front of the last jump was also dedicated: here, in fact, the English poet was struck by this waterfall "incomparable cataract, horribly beautiful". The sculpture created for Byron by the artist Peppe Di Giuli consists of a steel ingot bench on which, as if it had been elegantly thrown by Byron, stands the gilded bronze cloak with the book next to it on which it is engraved in Italian and in English the text dedicated by the poet to the Marmore Falls.
“She advances
Like an eternity to swallow
Everything that comes across scares the eye
Blissful, incomparable cataract
Horribly beautiful.
Whence this noise? It's from Velino
Which falls plumb into the abyss
From the alpine edge of the mountain
Huge cataract and lightning
As fast as…
Foam in heaven
It rises and falls in perpetual rain
Inexhaustible cloud and sweet dew
Which germinates around an evergreen
May, a carpet of emeralds”.
Lord Byron – 1816 (the year he, aged 28, visited the Cascade)
