Biblioteca comunale Sandro Penna

Biblioteca comunale Sandro Penna is a contemporary three-story public library in the San Sisto district with curved architectural lines and expansive glass panels. Each floor is organized for different services and reading spaces to serve various visitor needs.

The facility opened in May 2004 as an expansion of Perugia's municipal library system. It now serves as an important part of a citywide network that encompasses multiple libraries with diverse services.

The library holds a notable collection of vinyl records and CDs featuring classical opera recordings and works across multiple music genres. Visitors can explore this diverse musical selection that reflects the cultural life of the city.

The ground floor provides multimedia access, internet connections, and a reading area for newspapers and magazines. The upper floors are easily accessible and offer additional resources, allowing visitors to explore the full facility according to their needs.

The exterior walls feature illuminated panels displaying poetry selections from writer Sandro Penna. This literary element gives the building a poetic dimension and connects architecture with local literary heritage.
