From June 18, Casa Leopardi opens the famous poet's private apartments for the first time


From June 18, Casa Leopardi inaugurates the new tour route Ove Abitai Fanciullo: open for the first time the private apartments of the famous poet.

Giacomo Leopardi ’s private apartments in his home in Recanati were scheduled to open to the public for the first time as of March 21, 2020.The new Ove Abitai Fanciullo tour route was planned to take visitors to the palace’s state rooms, the gallery that holds the art collections, the garden that inspired the verses of Le Ricordanze, the small living room where the Leopardi brothers entertained, and the famous poet’s private rooms.

Now the opening of part of the main floor and apartments where Giacomo Leopardi lived with his brothers is scheduled for June 18. These rooms, known as the Brecce, will be open to visitors thanks to careful restoration and a 20-year project to expand access to more spaces.



“Two centuries separate us from Giacomo and his world,” said Countess Olimpia Leopardi, a descendant of the poet, “but the relevance of his thought also illuminates today’s scenario, offering us the cure to the ills of this age: solidarity among men.”
“We must share the strength of culture,” he added. “The emergency we have experienced cannot make us forget the importance of memory. Museums are par excellence the places deputed to this and they have meaning only if they are open. Precisely for this reason, despite the unforeseen scenario, we wanted to honor our commitment. Today we are ready to let the public experience the suggestions that touched the young Leopardi’s soul in the rooms where he lived and from which he drew inspiration.”
