The building

Key highlights

The visit can include the palace approach and historic stair, reading rooms, catalogues and exhibitions when accompanied visits are offered. The collections include Farnese material, manuscripts and rare books, the Lucchesi Palli music and theatre collection, Leopardi autographs and the Herculaneum papyri workshop; the library’s significance lies in that combination of rooms and accumulated holdings.
