The Gambalunga Library, every last Saturday of the month and upon reservation, offers the opportunity to visit the Ancient Halls in the seventeenth century Palazzo Gambalunga, where it is possible to admire the most prestigious volumes and precious furnishings.
Founded by the jurisconsult Alessandro Gambalunga, who prepared the legacy of his "library" to the Municipality of Rimini in his will.
His archive consisted of 1438 volumes, about 2,000 printed works, with prestigious covers bearing the emblem of the family and the name of the patron.
The library, opened in 1619, qualified as public, is the first civic library in Italy.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth century rooms you can discover treasures of refined elegance and of historical and cultural interest.
