This guided visit explores the evolution of the city’s library from its foundation in the 16th century to the present, examining how collections have been assembled, conserved and transmitted across generations. It investigates the institution’s core missions—collection, preservation and public access—and discusses archival and conservation practices, curatorial decisions and the role of libraries in shaping cultural memory. Participants gain insight into how heritage is managed and why it matters for civic identity.
