The Milan publisher Ricordi issued the song around 1886. Its title is the Neapolitan name for Marechiaro, an old fishing village on Posillipo, the hill west of Naples.<\/p>\n<p>More than 140 years later, \u00abMarechiare\u00bb remains a staple of the great tenors\u2019 repertoire. Tito Schipa recorded it, as did Beniamino Gigli and Luciano Pavarotti. And the window described in the words still stands in Marechiaro, with a fresh carnation on its sill.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E7EC;

He wrote poems, plays and song lyrics, including \u00abEra de maggio\u00bb. On 25 March 1885, he published his verses about Marechiaro in the Roman newspaper \u00abCapitan Fracassa\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Francesco Paolo Tosti came from Ortona, the port town in Abruzzo where he was born in 1846. At age eleven, he entered the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory, Naples\u2019 renowned music school. He later taught singing to Margherita of Savoy, the future queen of Italy, went to London in 1875 and became a singing teacher to the British royal family in 1880. King Edward VII knighted him in 1908.<\/p>\n<p>According to tradition, Tosti urged the poet to let him turn the poem into a song and is said to have offered him a gold pound sterling for it. The song for voice and piano was published by Ricordi in Milan; the first edition is dated to around 1886.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worum_geht_es_in_%C2%ABMarechiare%C2%BB\"><\/span>What is \u00abMarechiare\u00bb about?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abMarechiare\u00bb is a serenade, known in Italian as a <em>serenata<\/em>. A man in love stands beneath his beloved\u2019s window in Marechiaro on a moonlit night, calls for her to wake up and wants to bring her a song with his guitar.<\/p>\n<p>The landscape plays the other leading role. Moon, sea and rocks are more than scenery; they seem to fall in love too. This combination of nature imagery and courtship is precisely what made the song so popular.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Der_Text_Strophe_fur_Strophe\"><\/span>The Lyrics, Verse by Verse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can find the complete lyrics on Spotify and Apple Music; here we focus on their imagery. The song is sung in Neapolitan, as the title itself shows: <em>Marechiare<\/em> is the dialect form of Marechiaro.<\/p>\n<p>The first verse begins with the moon. As soon as it rises above Marechiaro, the singer says, even the fish fall in love; the waves stir and change colour for sheer joy. Di Giacomo exaggerates deliberately, and that is what makes the opening so cheerful.<\/p>\n<p>The second verse turns to a window, the <em>fenesta<\/em>. The singer\u2019s passion all but knocks at its pane, a potted carnation scents the sill, and the water murmurs below. This single image later became an attraction in its own right.<\/p>\n<p>In the third verse, the lover compares the stars in the sky with the woman\u2019s eyes. Anyone who thinks the stars are bright, he implies, has not seen those eyes; their light is carried only in his heart.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, he calls the beautiful woman by name: Carul\u00ec, an affectionate form of Carolina. She should wake up; the night air is mild, he has waited long enough and has brought a <em>guitar<\/em> to accompany his singing. The song does not reveal whether she opens the window.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-note\">\n<div class=\"inw-note-label\">GOOD TO KNOW<\/div>\n<p>How the verses were written is disputed. Di Giacomo himself said in the \u00abCorriere di Napoli\u00bb in 1894 that he wrote them on a boat trip across the bay and afterwards stopped at an inn near the window. Another version says he composed the poem at a table in Caff\u00e8 Gambrinus without ever having seen Marechiaro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wie_klingt_Tostis_Vertonung\"><\/span>What does Tosti\u2019s setting sound like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tosti was a master of the salon romance, the short art song for voice and piano performed in middle-class drawing rooms in the 19th century. \u00abMarechiare\u00bb is in D minor in the edition for high voice; Ricordi also printed a version for low voice in B minor.<\/p>\n<p>The Neapolitan text appeared alongside an Italian translation by the poet Rocco Pagliara so that singers outside Naples could understand the song. French composer \u00c9mile Tavan also wrote an arrangement for theatre orchestra. Thus the romance moved from the piano to the great stages.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%ABMarechiare%C2%BB_im_Video\"><\/span>\u00abMarechiare\u00bb on video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the top of this article you can hear Tito Schipa, the tenor from Lecce in Apulia who was famous for his light, elegant voice.

Luciano Pavarotti recorded \u00abMarechiare\u00bb for Decca in 1979 and repeatedly performed it afterwards, including in his hometown of Modena in 1987 and in Barcelona in 1989.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/marechiaro-felsen-meer-neapel-unsplash-7Nn3grQk3rs.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Moss-covered rock slabs by the water, with a breakwater of boulders and houses on the cliffs in backlight\" title=\"Rocks and sea near Marechiaro in Naples\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/marechiaro-felsen-meer-neapel-unsplash-7Nn3grQk3rs.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/marechiaro-felsen-meer-neapel-unsplash-7Nn3grQk3rs-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/marechiaro-felsen-meer-neapel-unsplash-7Nn3grQk3rs-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/marechiaro-felsen-meer-neapel-unsplash-7Nn3grQk3rs-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/marechiaro-felsen-meer-neapel-unsplash-7Nn3grQk3rs-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/marechiaro-felsen-meer-neapel-unsplash-7Nn3grQk3rs-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/marechiaro-felsen-meer-neapel-unsplash-7Nn3grQk3rs-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Rocky coast of Marechiaro on Posillipo in Naples in the evening light \u00b7 \u00a9 unsplash.com<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marechiaro_das_Fischerdorf_mit_dem_beruhmten_Fenster\"><\/span>Marechiaro: the fishing village with the famous window<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Marechiaro is an old fishing hamlet on Posillipo, the affluent residential hill west of Naples. Its name probably refers not to clear water but to calm water: medieval documents use the words <em>mare planum<\/em>, which became Marechiaro in Neapolitan. Sheltered behind the Scoglione, a rocky barrier in the water, the hamlet looks out towards Vesuvius, the Sorrento peninsula and Capri.<\/p>\n<p>The window from the song, the Fenestrella, really exists. A carnation always stands on its sill, and below hangs a white marble plaque with the song\u2019s notes and its writers\u2019 names. The city of Naples put it up in 1922. Around 10.000 people came to the celebration, and tenor Fernando De Lucia sang \u00abMarechiare\u00bb with an orchestra. In the sixties, Marechiaro and its restaurants overlooking the bay became a meeting place of the dolce vita.
