Libreria Nanni

This building used to be a hospital but has been a bookshop since 1825. It's one of the oldest bookshops in Bologna. In 1928 Arnaldo Nanni installed the now iconic Parisian style stalls - which you can kind of see on the right hand side of the picture. If there is a rare or out of print book you need - this is where you want to go. They have everything from travel to science fiction to cooking to summoning a demon. (Not 100% sure on the last one, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they had it 😂)
