Biblioteca universitaria Alessandrina
Biblioteca universitaria Alessandrina, Conservation library and state public library at Rector's Building in Rome, Italy
The Biblioteca Universitaria Alessandrina spans across multiple reading rooms, including spaces for multimedia resources, catalogs, and specialized collections with over 1 million items.
Pope Alexander VII established the library in 1667 as part of the Studium Urbis, with architect Francesco Borromini designing its original location at Palazzo della Sapienza.
The library maintains substantial collections of manuscripts, periodicals, photographs, and geographical maps, contributing to Italian academic research and preservation efforts.
Located at coordinates 41°54'11N 12°30'56E, the library serves as a central resource for academic research under the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities.
Since 1815, the library received copies of all works printed in the Papal State, creating an extensive documentation of publications from that period.
