Historical story

Franco Califano “Copiò” Leopardi?

Manuscript of Leopardi's Infinity; perhaps Franco Califano was inspired by the great poet for the title of one of his most famous songs

Everything else is boring is the title of one of the most famous songs by Franco Califano , but it is possible that it was taken from a writing by Giacomo Leopardi ?

"What is beautiful about Recanati that man takes care to see and learn? Anything! Here the only fun is studying ... everything else is boring! " this is what the great poet from the Marche wrote in a letter addressed to his friend and confidant Pietro Giordani on April 30, 1817.

Just a coincidence?

It is difficult to suppose and in any case it is nice to be able to see once again how greatness and art are able to overcome the barriers of time unscathed while always remaining alive and current.
