Recently, an Italian TV drama dedicated to Giacomo Leopardi aired on Rai channels. It was a wonderful opportunity to rediscover not only one of Italy’s greatest poets of all time but also the splendid village of Recanati, his birthplace. Nestled among the gentle hills of the Marche region, Recanati is an enchanting village in the province of Macerata. With its panoramic views stretching from the sea to the mountains, it offers stunning landscapes. Visiting this town means embarking on a journey through time, exploring culture, poetry, and history. Let’s discover together the must-see places of Recanati.
Your visit to Recanati must begin at Giacomo Leopardi's house, located in “Sabato del Villaggio” square. The residence, still inhabited by the Leopardi family descendants, houses a rich collection of manuscripts, personal belongings, and the famous library with over 20,000 volumes, most of which were collected by Giacomo’s father. This library is a true treasure trove of knowledge that narrates the cultural world of the poet.
In the same square, you’ll find the Church of Santa Maria di Montemorello, where Leopardi was baptized, and the house of Teresa Fattorini, better known as Silvia, the poet's young muse who passed away prematurely.
Just a short walk from Leopardi’s house lies the Hill of Infinity, a magical place offering a breathtaking view of the Marche countryside. This hill is the exact spot that inspired the famous poem of the same name, becoming a symbol of contemplation and beauty. Surrounded by the nature of Monte Tabor, visitors can experience the same atmosphere that Leopardi immortalized in his verses.
Not far away, in the heart of the village, stands the Tower of the Lonely Sparrow, named after another famous poem. The tower, part of the Saint Augustine Complex, dates back to the 13th century and is an example of Gothic architecture.
Continuing towards the center, you’ll come across the square dedicated to the poet. At its center rises the statue of Giacomo Leopardi, surrounded by significant historic buildings such as the Borgo Tower, which stands 30 meters high and is adorned with a commemorative plaque for the fallen of World War I.
From here, you can access the Municipal Palace, which houses the Recanati Museum and the Hall of Coats of Arms. There is also an art gallery displaying works by renowned artists, including Lorenzo Lotto. In the same square, you’ll find the Church of San Domenico, a Romanesque architectural gem with marble details.
Among the most fascinating cultural attractions in Recanati is the Villa Colloredo Mels Civic Museum, which houses four masterpieces by Lorenzo Lotto, including the famous “Annunciation of Recanati.” This medieval building is a true treasure for art enthusiasts.
Next door, the Museum of Marche Emigration (MEMA) narrates, through images and documents, the stories of thousands of Marche residents forced to emigrate in search of a better future abroad. A visit to MEMA is a touching experience that helps visitors understand the roots and history of the region.
After exploring the wonders of Recanati, there’s nothing better than ending your trip with a stay in Fano, at Hotel CasaDei.
