The tanks and gondolas could not save you this time. With a post on Facebook, Valentina Gigli tells the story of the historic Acqua Alta Library, just a few steps from Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge, on Calle Lunga Santa Maria Formosa. Founded in 2004 from the idea of Luigi Frizzo, it was flooded with high tide and record-breaking high water that reached 187 centimeters, second only to the 194 centimeters reached with the 1966 flood. To protect books from the rise of sea level, Frizzo decided to replace the more traditional shelves or shelves with small boats and a gondola, intended to contain volumes. Unfortunately this time the sea has invaded every space of the library, submerging the volumes.
The historic Acqua Alta Library, one of the most beautiful in the world
Solidarity and travel memories
Immediate solidarity in the network of Venetians and tourists, who consider it a magical place and
they immortalized it in dozens of shots:Among the most beautiful in the world. The girls welcome inside the cats that are cared for and cared for, they live and sleep between old books of poetry, novels and comics. Tonight the water flooded the bookstore and hundreds of books were destroyed. As great as the discomfort is, all the wonder of this place will come back to life, he says Debora Rizzo on Facebook, publishing some of the photographs taken on the last visit. I'm just thinking about the famous library in Venice. Not all books are safe, he adds Luela Paco (I'm just thinking about the famous library in Venice. Not all books are safe). A name, a destiny: one of the most peculiar bookstores in the world has lost hundreds of books, submerged under meters of water, he writes Sustainable Travel. Venice My Love … if you sink you will take away with you one of the greatest heritages of humanity, he adds Giuliana Bruschetta, posting a photo in front of the library. The hope that those responsible for the structure will not give up and, with the help of everyone, can cope with the situation: Good luck for the accommodation and a photo from 2018 to remember this wonderful place in what for me is the most beautiful city in the world, he concludes Loranz Zen Asalli.
