Recanati, \ninfinity turns 200 years old<\/h3>\n\n

This hermitage was always dear to me, \nAnd this hedge, which on so many sides \nOf the last horizon the look excludes. \nBut sitting and aiming, intermingled \nSpaces beyond that…<\/p>\n\n

Why visit Recanati, city of Leopardi and Infinity, in 2019?<\/h2>\n\n

On 28 May 2019, two hundred years have passed since Giacomo Leopardi composed the world-famous idyll. Taking a walk in his native Recanati means rediscovering places and suggestions made immortal by the poet’s timeless verses. <\/p>\n\n

Starting from the Town Hall Square where \nis dedicated to the poet an imposing statue, you can walk along the streets that \nlead to the house where Leopardi was born: Via Cavour, Via Calcagni, Via Roma and \nVia Antici. <\/p>\n\n

Along the route the palaces of the \npower alternate with historical buildings, side alleys and small squares \nform a labyrinth of pleasant views. During the itinerary are \nThe Persiani theatre (with its museum dedicated to Beniamino Gigli) and the \nSt. Augustine’s complex. Inside this cloister you can see the Tower \nof the Lonely Sparrow. <\/p>\n\n

Discover Recanati through the streets of the Borgo<\/h3>\n\n

Following this path, on the occasion of the bicentenary, it was possible to rediscover some verses of Leopardi’s poems in the corners and streets that inspired them, such as the verses of “Sabato del Villaggio” (Village Saturday) located in corners of the village that recall the sequences immortalized in the poem.<\/p>\n\n

Many are the verses of infinity \nproposed again in frames that enclose the mathematical symbol realized in various \nmaterials and framed by the verses of the famous poem.<\/p>\n\n

And like the wind \nOdo stormir among these plants, me that \nInfinite silence to this voice \nCompare<\/p>\n\n

Recanati casa Leopardi<\/h3>\n\n
