Sommario/riassunto

This work explores the phenomenon of ephemeral libraries in Venice during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It examines the development, impact, and eventual decline of these temporary public libraries, which were established to promote reading among less affluent social classes. The book highlights the role of private patrons, the challenges faced by these libraries, and the cultural shifts that led to their obsolescence. It also delves into the contributions of key figures, such as Maria Pezzè Pascolato, and institutions like the Ateneo Veneto. Additionally, it investigates the dispersal of significant book collections, including the library of Giovanni Battista Giustinian, the first mayor of Venice, and its implications for cultural heritage preservation.
