Libreria Acqua Alta - Venice

'Acqua Alta' library is one of the famous and historical library in Venice.
This is the entrance:

Many books stacked on top of each others.
Many of them ruined by high tide days, but left as they are, creating a strange and surreal environment.

Also walls are made by books:

A boat of books, who sail towards us, over the great ocean of human knowledges and experiences:

Not only old books, but also rare prints, books dedicated to Venice arts and bestsellers:

On backend, a stair made with book: on the wall you can read "follow the book steps climb", to reach a magic romantic place, where people express loves each others.

Here the view from up there:

A bench to rest. Every book contains a spirit: the soul of a writers, and here you can feel it beyond a rational level. Here you can stay in touch with many past lives.

Finally, a black cat near the store cashier:

The same cat you can find on the homepage of library website:
