Centrally located in the Marche region, in a strategic position between the coast and the hinterland, Recanati is a typical "balcony city" known for its wide panorama. Beniamino Gigli, a well-known opera singer, and Giacomo Leopardi, one of the most eminent poets of Italian literature, were born here. Here, everything speaks of him and his poetic inspiration: the palace where he was born which preserves his "hard-earned papers", Silvia's house, the hill of the Infinite.
