Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma

The Central National Library of Rome maintains a collection of over 7 million printed volumes, manuscripts, drawings, and maps in a modern building complex.

The library originated from the Jesuit Bibliotheca Secreta at Collegio Romano and transformed into a national institution after Italy's unification in 1870.

The institution preserves Italian publications and international works about Italy, featuring three exhibition spaces that present contemporary literature and historical materials.

Visitors need to obtain a Reader's pass from the reception office and store personal belongings in designated cloakrooms before accessing the collections.

The library contains a dedicated room for Italo Calvino that displays original items from the author's residence and personal collections.
