Biblioteca comunale di Massa Lubrense

Massa Lubrense's municipal library is located in the town hall on Largo Vescovado, the civic centre of the main town. The library is part of the municipality's public cultural services.

Why it matters

The municipal record describes it as the town's civic library. It serves a municipality whose settlements are spread across the Sorrentine peninsula, while the main square gathers civic and religious institutions in Massa centro.

What to notice

Largo Vescovado is the town's main square and site of the Municipio. The former cathedral of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Oratory of the Arciconfraternita della Morte e Orazione face onto the square. The Pennino belvedere, at one end, overlooks Capri and Ischia.

Context and history

Local-history reading has also been supported by a separate digital-library project. Since 2019, the Archeoclub di Massa Lubrense has digitised books and periodicals on the Sorrentine peninsula. That archive is distinct from the municipal library, though both contribute to the preservation of local historical material.
