'Acqua Alta' library is one of the famous and historical library in Venice.
This is the entrance:
Many books stacked on top of each others.
Many of them ruined by high tide days, but left as they are, creating a strange and surreal environment.
Also walls are made by books:
A boat of books, who sail towards us, over the great ocean of human knowledges and experiences:
Not only old books, but also rare prints, books dedicated to Venice arts and bestsellers:
On backend, a stair made with book: on the wall you can read "follow the book steps climb", to reach a magic romantic place, where people express loves each others.
Here the view from up there:
A bench to rest. Every book contains a spirit: the soul of a writers, and here you can feel it beyond a rational level. Here you can stay in touch with many past lives.
Finally, a black cat near the store cashier:
The same cat you can find on the homepage of library website:
