Library of the Chamber of the Deputies, Rome, Parliamentary library in central Rome, Italy
The Library of the Chamber of Deputies is a specialized research facility in central Rome dedicated to Italian legislative materials and political documentation. Its collection exceeds one million items, including parliamentary records, laws, and scholarly works on social sciences and government affairs.
This institution was founded in 1848 to support the work of the Italian Parliament. Over the decades, it became a major repository for documenting Italy's legislative history and political developments.
The library is named after Nilde Iotti, and its holdings are over 35% in foreign languages. Giacomo Matteotti, one of its most assiduous users, spent part of the morning of 10 June 1924 there before he was abducted and killed on his way to Montecitorio.
The facility is located near the Pantheon and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should bring valid identification and check operating hours in advance, as closures may occur on holidays.
The library collaborates with its Senate counterpart and offers visitor passes that grant access to both parliamentary collections. This allows researchers to explore the full range of legislative materials from both chambers.
