L'INFINITO

Production + Post Production

Join Director Cullen Blanchfield as he explores the enchanting landscapes of Rome and Tuscany in the summer of 2023, accompanied by the evocative verses of Giacomo Leopardi's "L'infinito." Composed in 1819, this seminal poem contemplates the boundless nature of human thought juxtaposed with the finite world.

Leopardi, who grew up in the Papal States, found much of his inspiration in these very regions where this film unfolds. This journey weaves together Italy's rich historical tapestry and Leopardi's profound reflections, offering a captivating exploration of both place and poetry. Discover how the same hills and streets that stirred Leopardi's imagination continue to inspire and resonate today.
