Forever linked to Giacomo Leopardi, who composed one of his most famous idylls here, Monte Tabor is universally recognized today as the Hill of the Infinite. This south-facing elevation in Recanati originally draws its name from the biblical Mount Tabor in Galilee, the traditional site of the Transfiguration of Jesus.
Today, the hill is maintained as a park located directly adjacent to Palazzo Leopardi and the Centro Studi Leopardiani. A path leads visitors through the grounds to the specific spot where the poet is believed to have found his inspiration. The location is marked by a wall plaque inscribed with the poem's opening line: "Sempre caro mi fu quest'ermo colle". Leopardi also frequented this elevation to admire the "graziosa luna" (graceful moon), making it the direct setting for his poem "Alla luna". On clear days with little haze, the vantage point offers sweeping southern views reaching as far as the peaks of the Sibillini mountains, which stand out with their snow-capped summits throughout the winter.
