That’s definitely a must for a book lover! The building is so impressive and the manuscript selection in the free museum room is incredible!

Ah yes, you should definitely find it easier to find his work then :) I have read him mostly through French translations (much easier to find than English ones) but would love to be able to read the original texts, if only I spoke Italian!
It is definitely a book that leaves a trace, this absurd and tragic story of a wasted life. I hope you enjoy Le notti difficili then, some of these stories blew my mind too (the story of the fly, for exemple).

I love this book. I haven’t read it for a long time but it is a book I think of often, and it is indeed a good motivation not to wait on life. If you can find Buzzati’s short stories (they are hard to find in English), I really recommend them too, especially restless nights and the K.

My pleasure! I started gathering all the details to visit some myself and thought I may as well share it!
