Our itinerary in Recanati will begin in the wide Piazza Leopardi dominated by the Palazzo Comunale and the ancient church of San Domenico, a space completely redesigned for the anniversary of the poet's birth. We'll visit the austere Palazzo Antici, birthplace of Leopardi's mother, in front of which are his elegant stables, while from the top of the ancient tower we can imagine the solitary Sparrow wandering through the countryside in spring. We'll continue with a focus on the city's history in the Vertical Museum housed inside the Torre del Borgo, from which we can enjoy the splendid panorama that sweeps from the Adriatic Sea to the Sibillini Mountains. Finally, we we'll conclude our walk at the Colle dell'Infinito Park with a characteristic path leading to the summit of Mount Tabor, the symbolic and inspirational site of his most famous idyll.

A few kilometres from Macerata, a province of the Marche Region, we find Recanati, located in a very scenic position between the Musone and Potenza river valleys. Extended on a high and winding hill at 296 metres above sea level, it has an area of 102 square kilometres and a population of about 21,400 inhabitants. The city can be reached from the 'Raffaello Sanzio' Airport in Falconara (Ancona), from the A14 - Loreto/Porto Recanati motorway exit and from the Loreto and Ancona railway stations.
