A treasury of books

The Giorgio Cini Foundation, in order to highlight and promote the significant heritage preserved on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, has put on show a selection of its collection of 15th- and 16th-century volumes. The exhibition has a twofold itinerary organised according to theme and collectors. The idea is to present some of the most significant examples from the valuable private collections of eminent collectors in a selection of thematically kindred books in order to illustrate how book collections may develop in various ways.

The project was made possible thanks to a contribution from Telecom Italia.
