This essay examines the way in which an Italian poem of the nineteenth century, i.e. Giacomo Leopardi’s idyll L’Infinito (The Infinite, 1819), created one of the most famous places in the Italian literary imagination: a Romantic landscape turned inside out, where life and 'nothingness' can be experienced at once.
