Leopardi does not hide his intolerance for the environment of Recanati, "this miserable village", isolated and provincial, from where it is difficult even to get in touch with "quite distant places". Just this impatience will push the poet in a few months to try to escape to Lombardy-Veneto, but his plan will be thwarted by his father's intervention. In the meantime, he sent Brighenti a copy of his "poor songs", Sull'Italia and Sul monument di Dante, which is being prepared in Florence, published the year before in Rome and dedicated to Vincenzo Monti.
