The National Library of Naples "Vittorio Emanuele III" open with free admission on May 1st. With guided tours of the exhibitions

What to do in Naples on May 1, 2014 ? One idea is to immerse yourself in Neapolitan culture and history by accepting the invitation of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, which, for the occasion of Labor Day, will allow tourists and citizens a special visit to the National Library.

The Vittorio Emanuele III National Library of Naples will remain exceptionally open all day on Thursday, May 1st, from 9:30 a.m. to 18:30 p.m., with free admission . Visitors will be able to admire the splendid frescoed rooms housing the precious collections of manuscripts, documents, and printed books, as well as the Reading Room and the sumptuous Bourbon Ballroom.

The event thus inaugurates the Neapolitan Maggio dei Monumenti , the spring festival of the city of Naples full of artistic and cultural events and activities, dedicated this year to the figure of Benedetto Croce.

During the day of May 1st, it will be possible to participate in three guided tours of the exhibitions:

Between stories and legends: the Naples of Benedetto Croce

Where some “Crociani” autographs will be exhibited accompanied by printed editions, interesting manuscripts, rare geographical maps, splendid watercolor drawings, ancient printed texts, precious woodcuts, engravings and lithographs.
