Biblioteca di storia moderna e contemporanea
Biblioteca di storia moderna e contemporanea, State public library in Rome, Italy
The Biblioteca di storia moderna e contemporanea is located within Palazzetto Venezia and holds extensive collections of documents, journals, and archives related to modern Italian history. The holdings span materials from the 19th century to the present day and provide researchers with access to original sources, microfilm collections, and digital catalogs.
The library was established in 1921 to systematically collect and preserve documents related to Italian unification and the formation of the modern nation. Over the decades, its collection expanded to provide a more complete understanding of modern Italian history from the 19th century onward.
The library houses materials that reflect how Italians understand their own modern history and national identity through preserved documents and publications. Visitors can see how political upheavals and social transformations were recorded in journals, newspapers, and personal archives during periods of major change.
The library is located at Via Michelangelo Caetani 32 and requires registration before accessing materials. It helps to check which collections are available before your visit, as some items may need to be requested in advance.
The collection includes rare manuscripts and personal papers from figures who shaped Italy's development, some of which were inaccessible for decades. These documents provide intimate glimpses into the private thoughts of people who influenced publicly recorded events.
