The Cathedral of San Leopardo in Osimo, built in the 8th century on an ancient pagan temple, is dedicated to the first bishop of the city. Although the exterior visible from the square is the left side, the entire facade is revealed only by entering the courtyard. Under the main altar, the crypt houses the remains of San Leopardo and the first Christian martyrs. Inside, a wooden crucifix from the 11th-12th century is preserved, known for its particular crucifixion with four nails and an unusual skirt. The crucifix is linked to a miracle in 1796, when it is said to have opened its eyes and moved its lips.

An agricultural and industrial centre, the town is renowned for its ceramic craftsmanship, a tradition that has endured for more than 500 years, and is famous for the production and sale of furniture. Its origins are ancient, dating back to the era of Roman domination. From this point, you can enjoy a splendid view of the village, nestled among the rolling hills.

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.

The city is certainly famous for being the birthplace of Giacomo Leopardi, in fact there are many references. However, don't let yourself be distracted by the many other beauties that this village can offer, starting with the panoramas of Mount Conero. In the main square it is worth stopping to quench your thirst and maybe eat something in the numerous bars present.
