Library Lazzerini

It is located in the beautiful architectural scenery of the ancient Campolmi Factory, the largest industrial complex of the nineteenth century within the medieval walls, which already hosts the Textile Museum." Named after the Italian sculptor Alessandro Lazzerini, the Library Lazzerini project was a combined effort by Marco Mattei, architect and designer, Fabrizio Cecconi, architect, and Blacks Franco, director of the Library Lazzerini. The total cost of the renovation was approximately 18 million euros.
