With its rich history and its impressive size – with a usable area of approximately 28,000 square meters – the Classense Library is an important landmark not only for its book collections, but also for the monumental value of the historic building that houses it.
From its monastic origins to its history as a Municipal Library, the Classense has always been a site in constant evolution. From the construction of the Aula Magna, designed by Paolo Soratini – later enriched by the upper halls designed by Camillo Morigia – to the recent restorations carried out by renowned architects such as Marco Dezzi Bardeschi and Giampiero Cuppini. We invite you to discover some of the most striking monumental places in the entire Library and the priceless works of art they contain
