‘remarkable libraries’.. 

29/9/2018 By editor Leave a Comment

(excerpt..)

In this new photographic journey Massimo Listri travels to some of the oldest and finest libraries to reveal their architectural –  historical and imaginative wonder.

Through great wooden doors – up spiraling staircases and along exquisite shelf-lined corridors – he leads us through outstanding private – public – educational and monastic libraries – dating as far back as 766.

Between them these medieval – classical – baroque – rococo and 19th-century institutions hold some of the most precious records of human thought and deed – inscribed and printed in manuscripts – volumes – papyrus scrolls and incunabula.

In each Listri’s poised images capture the library’s unique atmosphere as much as their most prized holdings and design details.
