Library

Even if the initial attempt to create a public library in Todi was dated around 1813, it was not until 1875 that the public library was actually constituted. In fact in this year, Lorenzo Leonj codified many prints which one belonged to the ex convent of S. Fortunato and other libraries from other suppressed congregations. Although, already in the year 1867 however, in order to secure the belief that a culture was not to be a priviledge for a few but was to be obtainable to everyone, Paolo Leli, formed with the donation from private citizens a mobile library in the 1886 and which was latter united to the council library . In 1920, with Giulio Pensi , the library was transferred from S. Fortunato to the Town Hall Building where it remained until 1995. At the end of reconstruction and restoration works of S. Fortunato complex, from 23rd. May 2000 the library has returned to its initial place of origin. Around 34.000 pieces can be viewed with pieces dated back as far as X century.
