Recanati Experience

The visit to the museum circuit is possible with a single ticket that allows access to:

Villa Colloredo Mels
It houses works of art and objects that tell the story of the city from its origins until the beginning of the 20th century, organized into sections. In addition to this itinerary, the extraordinary section of documents, manuscripts and memorabilia belonging to Giacomo Leopardi can be visited. A real rediscovery of the Leopardian heritage that comes back after many years to all citizens, tourists and scholars. Among the "goodies" are the papers relating to the publication of the first edition of the Zibaldone and a moving letter sent from Florence and written by Giacomo to his father. The Renaissance section is well represented by four of the most significant works by Lorenzo Lotto: the Polyptych of San Domenico (1508), the Transfiguration (1512), the San Giacomo Maggiore (1516) and the Annunciation of 1532, the Master's absolute masterpiece Veneto. (hours from 1pm and 3pm to 6pm)

Visiting the Museum of Emigration of the Marche, dedicated to the over 700,000 Marches who emigrated abroad, it will be possible to embark on a journey through a multimedia and interactive path that tells, even through images, objects and documents, the difficult experience of those who have left the own land to seek fortune elsewhere. 36 meters high and crowned by Ghibelline battlements, the Torre del Borgo was built in the 12th century as a symbol of the merger in a single municipality of the ancient castles of Monte Morello, Monte Volpino and Monte Muzio.
