Libreria

Rare and ancient books, both open and closed, rest on simple shelves of untreated wood. At times they are placed one above the other, in a precarious balance. At others, they judiciously display their elegant leather covers and perfect bindings, sewn with silk thread, as you would a sophisticated item of evening dress. Noblesse oblige. And now we are tempted to scroll through their titles, sometimes barely legible, as one is instinctively inclined to do before a real library, in order to get an idea of the interests, the passions, the tastes, the inner world of the home owner. There’s simply no cure for curiosity.
