Casa Leopardi has inaugurated in the rooms of the famous Library of Recanati Io nel pensier mi fingo , the first exhibition of the InterValli cycle, with which one of the most prestigious places in Italian culture opens up for the first time to contemporary art to embark on a journey polyphonic between the different languages of the present and thus focus on the construction of the new. Starting from a poignant verse of L'infinito (1819), the first appointment of InterValli, realized with the contribution of the National Committee for the Celebrations of the Bicentenary of the Composition of L'infinito , proposes an intergenerational and international itinerary with artists born between the years Thirties and nineties of the last century that are confronted today with the figure of Giacomo Leopardi and with the atmosphere that animated his incomparable intellectual itinerary.

Born from an idea of Olimpia Leopardi and curated by Antonello Tolve, the exhibition Io nel pensier mi fingo offers in the rooms of the Library a selection of works by Tomaso Binga, Jeanne Gaigher, HH Lim, Maurizio Mochetti, Melissa Lohman, Patrizia Molinari, Adrian Quiet and Narda Zapata.


In the halls of the Library, the viewer is welcomed by the evocative works of Narda Zapata (La Paz, 1981) and Patrizia Molinari (Senigallia, 1948), the path then thickens and articulates with the works of HH Lim (Kedah, 1954). ), Tomaso Binga (Salerno, 1931), Adrian Tranquilli (Melburne, 1966), Melissa Lohman (New York, 1975) and Jeanne Gaigher (Cape Town, 1990).

Inserted in the suggestive alcove of the Library, dating back to the 17th century, a laser sphere by Maurizio Mochetti (Rome, 1940) also indicates a luminous point of the itinerary, a moment in which to discover that "the modalities of the imagination follow the modalities according to which technology it evolves, and future technical efficiency will spark a new imagination ».
