Description
Explore the library and private rooms of the Leopardi family in Recanati. See the garden that inspired Giacomo Leopardi’s work and visit an exhibition of his belongings.
Begin your guided tour in the ancient rooms of the library, which contains over 20,000 volumes, most of which were consulted by Giacomo Leopardi. This is where the poet studied and trained under the loving guidance of his father Monaldo.
Learn how the library was the core around which much of the family life was organized: a kind of incessant and inevitable conquest of study over all other family activities.
Next, head to the private rooms of the palace and the garden that inspired the immortal verses of Le ricordanze. Hear about the life of the young Leopardi brothers and see the poet’s apartments.
Finally, visit an exhibition that brings together a wealth of objects, documents, and writings that belonged to Giacomo Leopardi and his family.
