Where is the best library in Florence?
The new Giunti in Firenze's Via Degli Anselmi, near Piazza Strozzi, is vying to become one of Italy's most beautiful bookstores. After the closure of the historic Odeon cinema-theatre, the debates continued, but the former venue has been reopened, becoming a true and functional cultural and political center. "A one-of-a-kind bookstore in the world, an artistic haven," Giunti says. The stage and the large screen have remained in place, as has the gallery with its magnificent ocra-colored poltroncine.
