The Biblioteca civica - or the Public Library - was founded in 1972 and holds 700,000 works. These include books, early printed material, manuscripts, prints, pamphlets, historical documents and collections of magazines and journals. Among them are some very valuable books including the 9th Century copy of the ‘Istituzioni di Giustiniano’ and the ‘Omelie di S.Agostino’ from the same period. There is also a work thought to be the first to be printed in Italy, the ‘Lattanzio’ from 1465.
