Ragionieri Library | Sesto Fiorentino
The Ernesto Ragionieri public library in Sesto Fiorentino has very old origins and an evocative history, in fact it was born in 1886 out of the donation of books by French doctor Claude Henry Amédée Chambion to the Biblioteca Circolante, a popular institution.
On this foundation the current library was constituted and since 2010 it has found a home in Villa Buondelmonti, the building where Marquis Carlo Ginori founded the historic Porcelain Manufacture of Doccia in 1737.
The villa perfectly served the functions of representation and museum of porcelain production; today the Library occupies it with its open shelves.
The Library features a children’s area, a multimedia area, Internet stations, magazines, as well as books. In the hall frescoed by Vincenzo Meucci is a conference room.
The Library is part of SDIAF (Sistema Documentario Integrato Area Fiorentina)
