BEFORE GOING

• Be aware that Italian libraries tend to privilege Italian language for their collections; their staff may not speak fluent English; books are often in closed stacks and need to be requested by filling a form.
• It is advisable to start with searching online catalogs to identify specific works to request.
• Check in this guide the access policy requirements for each library. They vary a lot!
