Biblioteca e Complesso monumentale dei Girolamini
Biblioteca e Complesso monumentale dei Girolamini, State public library in historic Naples, Italy
The library comprises over 159,700 volumes within a Renaissance complex that includes a church and two cloisters with decorative maiolica tiles.
Established in 1586 on the site of Palazzo Seripando, the library stands as the oldest in Naples and second oldest in Italy after Malatesta.
The collection contains 6,500 musical manuscripts dating from the 16th to 19th centuries, along with texts on philosophy and Christian theology.
Located in the historic center of Naples at Piazzetta San Giuseppe dei Ruffi, the library maintains regular opening hours for research purposes.
The library underwent extensive recovery operations after 2012 when authorities uncovered systematic theft of its valuable manuscripts and books.
