All locations of the fiction "Leopardi, the poet of infinity"

Where was the new Rai 1 drama dedicated to Giacomo Leopardi filmed? Here are the locations of Leopardi - Il poeta dell’infinito, a TV series that offers audiences a unique opportunity: to relive the places that shaped the young poet and his immortal works. The two-part miniseries directed by Sergio Rubini and starring Leonardo Maltese as Giacomo Leopardi allows the audience to take a journey through historic mansions and picturesque villages that tell not only Leopardi’s personal story, but also the essence of an Italy that holds the eternal dialogue between man and the infinite. From the gently undulating hills of the Marche, with Recanati as the cultural and poetic epicenter, to the towns that welcomed Leopardi during his travels, each location becomes a silent protagonist of Sergio Rubini’s tale.
