Why go to the library in Italy when you’re surrounded by art, architecture, history and passionate people? Because, as the @nytimestravel writer David Laskin discovered, the country’s historic libraries contain all of those things without the crowds. @sw_photo took this photo of the reading room at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence — the only library in #Italy designed by #Michelangelo. “No adjective I know does justice to the reading room itself,” David writes. “Rows of walnut benches that ingeniously double as lecterns — ‘plutei,’ they are called — flank the sides of a central corridor paved in intricately patterned rose and cream terra cotta. Along the 2 lateral walls, stained glass windows face each other in precise rectangular alignment, illuminating the benches. The heavily carved wooden ceiling seems to flatten and deepen the space to infinity, like the vanishing point in a Renaissance landscape painting. Michelangelo’s library is so rational, so resolute, so majestically realized that not in my wildest dreams could I imagine working here.” Save this photo if you’re planning a trip to Italy, and visit the link in our profile to see more photos of Italian libraries by @sw_photo. #? #?
