POET’S HOUSE

For the first time, the Leopardi family opened the most intimate spaces of the house to the public; the new tour runs through rooms that have been exclusively domestic to date.  The descendants of Giacomo Leopardi, now represented by Olimpia Leopardi, have decided to open the most intimate spaces of the Palazzo di Recanati to the public, where the poet was born and lived the first years of his life. “Our family has lived continuously within these walls since the 12th century. I have lived in it since I was born and, despite having traveled and resided in various places, this is the place I always return to. For me, Recanati is a fixed point, a place where time flows at a different, relative speed. Something that has not changed since Giacomo’s time and that we have all tried, is the desire to discover what we imagine is beyond the door of one’s home, and this curiosity has always led men to extraordinary impulses; the same impulses that the Poet experienced ”.
