Main civic library to serve the city. Even if you are not a local and do not intend to borrow a book, I recommend a visit to see the cloister, the stand of used books and especially the upper room, where you can observe a curious use of shelving as load-bearing elements and furniture , which together with the catwalks, form the functional part of the room. Unfortunately, this solution does not leave a particularly comfortable space for study, as the tables are few and you are easily distracted by users who pass all around. If you are looking for a quiet place I recommend the Medical Library at the basement of the University of Medicine or the reading room "Poletti" at the Civic Museums in Largo Sant'Agostino.
