Rome, the Eternal City, a pioneer of beauty, charm, and culture.
Its libraries are no different.
Beyond the big bookstore, it is a real pleasure to stroll through its most hidden neighborhoods, discovering small shops dedicated to the pleasure of reading, full of secrets, ancient books, and curiosities.

L’Aventure, Via del Vantaggio 21
Neighborhood bookshop specialized in French comics in the original language, from the great classics to the latest news. Inside, suggestive, and organized, it is possible to find books of all kinds of publishers – from the most known ones to the independent ones.
Moreover to comics, some of its bookshelves are dedicated to visual arts, illustrated books, lithographs and screenprints.
Fahrenheit 451, Piazza Campo de’ Fiori 44
Farhenheit 451 has been in the shadow of Bruno’s statue since 1989: a small library dedicated to the research and sale of rare books. With particular attention to the figurative arts (cinema, photography, theater), it represents the perfect place to spend a slightly bohemian evening, far from the chaos of large bookstores.
A gem, for connoisseurs.

Settembrini Libri e cucina, Piazza Martiri di Belfiore 12
A small bookshop & restaurant that is a real gem. A meeting point for a dinner or an aperitif, in a refined, intimate and informal environment, surrounded by books of all types. Special mention for the very high quality of the tasting menus, both food & wine… And book!
