Orto sul Colle dell'Infinito, Public garden in Recanati, Italy.
The Orto sul Colle dell'Infinito is a public garden on a hilltop near Recanati with fruit trees, vegetable beds, and flower sections. From this location, views reach across the region's hills toward the sea and distant mountains.
The site was originally a monastery before being transformed into a garden. Poet Giacomo Leopardi wrote his famous poem here in 1819, capturing the views and quiet of the place in his verse.
The garden takes its name from the poem composed here, blending plants and spaces dedicated to Leopardi's literary work. Visitors can join guided tours that explain how the landscape inspired his writing.
The garden can be visited on specific days, and it is recommended to reserve in advance to ensure availability. Sturdy footwear is advisable since the site sits on a hill with potentially uneven paths.
The garden was deliberately restored to recreate the conditions of Leopardi's time. This makes it a place where visitors can see exactly what inspired the poet's famous work.
