Best Public librarys in Italy

Mara la bibliotecaria è molto gentile ed appassionata di ricerca bibliografica, soprattutto su temi storici

Luogo accogliente, pulito e personale preparato è disponibile. L’unica pecca che essendo io disabile non riesco a entrare con l’auto nel parcheggio. Mi è stato detto dagli operatori di telefonare e farmi aprire ma io sinceramente non me la sento di approfittare della loro cortesia, basterebbe un cartello e far entrare solo le auto con il contrassegno. Comunque mi arrangio e parcheggio dove trovo. L’importante è che la biblioteca ci sia.

Da molti anni fatta tessera oppure con tessera sanitaria puoi avere in prestito libri CD ecc ultime novità romanzi e vasta scelta scrittori saggi e libri per bimbi

Wonderfully beautiful, well restored and multifunctional place. The management would do well however to somehow solve the problem of that certain category of hopelessly unintegrated migrants, who're increasingly loitering in the rooms of this gorgeous library. This makes everyone else want to be there less, due to feeling uncomfortable and unsafe.

This is a very unique and interesting library as it has very cool ruin’s underneath it. It has a glass floor so you can walk above and see below. You can visit the library and then take a visit inside the ruins. It’s very well preserved and maintained. It’s a nice historical landmark and I definitely enjoyed my time spent here. I would definitely recommend visiting this library and its ruins.

Bibliotecari gentili, sale luminose. Frequentata da universitari. Bel posto. C'è un bar nel complesso. Non lo conoscevo. Visitato per la mostra di Natale diffusa. Molto bello il quadro esposto La Vergine di Francesco Hayez.

Una delle perle della Bolognina. Posto fantastico dove studiare e lavorare in tranquillità per ore. Pulitissima, accogliente e in un contesto riparato dal trambusto della città. Per me la biblioteca più bella di Bologna

Biblioteca chiusa con lucchetto durante le festività nonostante sia segnata aperta su google. Un viaggio a vuoto per la restituzione di libri

Biblioteca Salaborsa was opened in 2001 in the north wing of Palazzo d'Accursio.

Through the glass floor of the library, one can see the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Bononia, which date back to 189 BC, and Etruscan ruins from 7th century BC.

The name "Salaborsa" is comes from "sala" (hall) and "borsa" (exchange), reflecting the historical use of the space as a market in the Middle Ages.

Biblioteca molto carina, personale gentile. Spazio ludico per bambini, anche quelli piccolissimi, con cuscinetti, peluche e libri adatti alla loro età!

This biblioteca is well-equipment, I really enjoy my reading time there. Everyone is easy-going and kindly. Love this place!

Opens after 2:30 pm on Mondays. Incredible library with a huge open feeling. Below the transparent tiles on the floor are ancient Roman ruins.

Ci venivo a studiare più di 30 anni fa.
Sempre bella ed emozionante, personale cortese.
Questa volta per una conferenza: mon c'è età per imparare qualcosa di nuovo! 🙏🏻

È un luogo perfetto per leggere o studiare , ampi spazi e ben illuminati. Con tavoli anche all'aperto e bar per qualche intervallo. Personale gentilissimo 👍

This is an off-the-radar gem that needs more attention! We had a couple of hours this morning in Palermo before we had to leave and chose this because it was close and looked interesting. (I'm a book lover and word nerd.) It totally exceeded our expectations. We didn't realize it was by guided tour only and so just showed up. They had to call the guy who could give the tour in English. Turns out, he'd worked there since 1998! So we waited around for him to show up, not sure what to expect. It was *amazing*. We got a personal tour that lasted about an hour, visiting the church and other spaces that all house books and manuscripts. Our guide (never got his name) was pulling books from the 1500s off the shelves and thumbing through them to show us. It was amazing. He was lovely and very informative and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves books, words, knowledge.

Storica biblioteca immersa nel silenzio del Parco Sempione. Ritrovo di generazioni di studenti... pre-internet. Ma vedo con piacere ancora funzionante.

Unbedingt anschauen! Die Fresken, die Gänge, die Bibliothek und natürlich der Anatomiesaal- alles sehr beeindruckend!
Eintritt kostet nur der Anatomiesaal und die Bibliothek (3€)

Wir waren mittags hier, ca. 13 Uhr, an einem Donnerstag und hatten keine Schlange und nur wenige andere Besucher. Mit 3€ Eintritt pro Person recht günstig, dafür kann man diesen historischen Ort besichtigen und er ist sehr schön und interessant.

I could have spent all morning exploring this library... We limited ourselves to the Roman ruins beneath the main floor. Amazing building.

When you hate your life and you don't like working. You can still sell tickets here at this place. This lady that sells tickets here is a perfect match. 09/08/2023 14:20u

Unbedingt besichtigen! Auch die kostenpflichtigen Räume - Anatomiesaal aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und Veranstaltungssaal der Bibliothek. Nur schade, dass man die eigentliche Bibliothek nicht besichtigen kann. Aber dort ist natürlich auch Betrieb durch Touristen nicht gefragt, sondern Ruhe für die Studierenden.

You have to visit it, it’s amazing. Tickets are free for under 18 years old and 3€ for adults

Don't miss the opportunity to visit this incredibly historic and stunning university, which remains operational to this day. You'll be captivated by its beauty and rich heritage. The best part is, there's no need for a ticket, and it's not crowded at all. Make sure to check it out; it's definitely worth a visit!

Questa biblioteca si trova davvero vicino all'università, con molti posti a sedere a disposizione. Vasta scelta di libri di vario genere nel mio ambito (per la grandezza della biblioteca). Vicino al bar per la pausa. Tuttavia mancano le prese elettriche in prossimità delle scrivanie e la connessione wifi non è delle migliori. Comunque l'accesso è completamente gratuito.

Best library in Milan! Perfect for a study session:)

Mi è capitato molto spesso di trovare nelle diverse biblioteche della città operatori demotivati e privi di un'adeguata preparazione e questo mi ha sempre creato un certo disagio che per mia fortuna non ho avvertito alla Valvassor Peroni. Qui ho trovato addetti ai lavori empatici e preparati. Ognuno di loro mostra una certa capacità relazionale, competenze culturali circa il patrimonio dei libri presenti all'interno della biblioteca e destrezza nel risolvere le problematiche. Mirco, in particolare, possiede anche una " cultura del servizio" cioè è consapevole delle finalità del luogo dove si trova a lavorare. Perché la biblioteca non è solo un centro di cultura, ma anche un luogo di incontro, di interazione e di scambio. Inoltre adora i libri e ha sempre un buon consiglio di lettura in serbo per gli utenti della biblioteca Un grazie particolare alla Signora Carla che mi ha trasmesso la curiosità verso autori che non avevo mai letto come Arto Paasilinna con il suo "il bosco delle volpi impiccate" oppure Nita Prose con il suo " la cameriera" un giallo bello dal finale assolutamente interessante e ancora Alice Basso con il suo " Le indagini di Anita: una combattiva, tenace, acuta e sognatrice .che se la deve vedere con il perbenismo di una Torino in cui il credo fascista si sta radicando.

Der Palazzo bietet Einsicht in die historische Altstadt. Auch ohne Billet kann man bereits einiges sehen (siehe unsere Bilder).

Good library and nice environment!

Really old books and architecture. Great place for a visit. We had a really good guide who showed us the whole library.

I recommend this place to nomads like me, who can work remotely and ask for silence. You can turn your laptop on and find yourself in the world of a very old library with dusted books and amazing architecture. Better than working in cafes :)

Today i got my registration done and loaned a book. I don’t speak italian but thanks to the helpful lady at the info desk, everything was very smooth. Thank you!📚

Very nice library with large study hall. Quiet and a great place to visit if you have some time to kill and fancy doing some reading. Staff were friendly. Toilets were a little run down and insufficiently stocked but ultimately clean and functional. Garden was very nice, would be lovely in Summer and after a bit of maintenance. Overall definitely a good place to visit.

Best library ever!

Nice and quiet areas to study and work! Really close to Duomo and also opened on Saturday

It was all very impressive and beautiful. The entrance fee is 3€ and you get to see the anatomy theatre and the stabat mater room. The whole building is incredible. It is filled with 6000 coats of arms , painted ceilings and statues. The anatomy theatre has the marble table in the middle and wooden carvings on the ceiling and the walls and statues of 20 important doctors of the time. The stabat matter room is magnificent! The decorations are impressive and the books also! A must visit overall when in Bologna.

An extraordinary place right in the center of Palermo.

Magnificent library, librarians very eager to show it off. Not a word of English. Loved em.

A very decent library for studying and it’s free.

My second favourite library in Bologna.

Great staff, clean desks and proper lighting.

Great studing place with different kind of spaces, outside, inside, including vending and coping machine. Highly recommended to students

The archaeological excavations under the covered square of Salaborsa

I'm glad I got to visit them. if you have a way to the Salaborsa library, don't miss them, and if you don't have a way, do it. worth a visit

the entrance is through the stairs on the left as you pass the guard at the entrance. access is free. donations are received, and it is worth considering that it is well maintained and beautifully presented. the staff is friendly and guides you. not speaking Italian I received a leaflet in English. I appreciate it.

A very smart and studious town needs a library to match.

Turns out they did some renovations and found old Roman foundations below it. The medieval builders would just build over anything after destroying it.

You can visit for free, the foundations were not visible when I was there this week as there was some presentation going on, as with most things Italian and in a square there's always something going on.

Regardless, nice library, lots of books, nothing in English so I couldn't pretend I was just there to look inside the building.

Beautiful place, I was there for an event hosted in the garden inside the library and it was wonderfully organized.

Very friendly staff, calm and nice place with ample sunlight and ventilation. Perfect for kids and students

Sempre gentilissime e competenti. Grazie

Arriving at the beautiful historic Piazza Nettuno immediately catches our eye the beautiful medieval Palazzo d'Accursio building ( Palazzo Comunale ). Biblioteca Salaborsa (Salabrosa Library) is located in one part of the Palace. The Salaborsa Library is the central public library opened in 2001 and provides a rich and fascinating cultural space inside the Palazzo d'Accursio, the ancient and historical seat of the city government. Its history is very interesting. In the thirteenth century, some Ghibella houses of late antiquity were built on this site above the Roman ruins. Among the builders are Francesco Accursio, a well-known lawyer at the Bologna School. The building then becomes a town hall. During Visconti's reign (1350 - 1360), the building was fortified because it had a house headquarters of troops that guarded the town hall, and converted Visconti into a true fortress. In 1568 Ulisse Aldrovandi transformed the inner garden into a botanical garden. Then began the cultivation of medicinal plants and exotic plants imported from all continents. Here Aldrovandi conducted the basic research that contributed to the creation of modern botany. In the meantime, a committee headed by Bologna entrepreneurs was set up, aimed at promoting the transformation of the indoor garden and cisterns into a space intended for the trade and market activities of the Bologna Stock Exchange, which had opened by then. Thus, between 1883 and 1886 on the site of the old garden built new Sala Borsa. Archaeological excavations carried out recently to restore Salaborsa revealed traces of public and religious buildings. They are visible to the public through a walkway and testify to the fact that the place has always been the center of public life in the city. There is an impressive wall perimeter of the Renaissance Terribilia tank, paved roads and foundations of the Roman basilica, the wall of the Medieval tower house and the star-shaped tub once at the center of the garden. In 1920, Salaborsa became a public restaurant, followed by the Bank with a Treasury (Cassa di Risparmio). After World War II and until the 1960s, the covered square served as a sports hall. This is where the Virtus Basketball Club originated. Today it is a beautiful and significant library.

Didn't spend much time inside because I was hooked with the beautiful, peaceful garden!

A peaceful place to read

A Great place to study.

到了bari,必須要到这圣堂看看，尤其是要留意天花板，十天美。

This place is truly something special. Wheather you're tourist or actually want to study, feel like a quite moment in Palermo, or just up for a laugh, it's worth a visit. There's about 5 receptionists. One of them has been learning English online for 20 years with not much result. He's great fun though.

In the end, you get a security bag to put your stuff in - it's sealed and monitored at all times. Truly Sicilian library experience.

Very beautiful building and good librar.

Beautiful.

Nice library, but generally crowded hard to find place to study.

Free public library. I enjoyed reading 📖 outdoor there

Free public library in beautiful park.

One of the oldest in Milan, you can find books about literature, philosophy and history here

un luogo magico

The best coop around, guess because of affluent clientele
