A signalled path leads then to the famous “Colle dell’Infinito” where a wonderful panorama can be enjoyed. On the way towards the main square, the Torre Antica, Sant’Agostino Church and its bell tower are to be seen. In the middle of the main square there is a statue of the poet. The Town Hall encloses the square. It houses a museum dedicated to Beniamino Gigli, a famous tenor who was born in Recanati. A visit there is a must. Stage costumes, photographs and antiques that belonged to the musician are on show there.
