Abstract

This article offers an outlook of the Italian libraries system based ondata collected at national and regional level. After the unification, thenew Italian state met with a diversified system of public libraries. Theirvery number and basic characteristics were unknown. Since 1863, throughouta century, several studies have been conducted on a national scaleto fill the gap. When Regional autonomy was introduced in the 1970s,local surveys on libraries bloomed, but their coverage rarely reached thenational level. Due to the lack of a National Authority on Libraries, acomplete picture of the system, made of public (state, regional, municipal,etc.) and private libraries, with standard methods and comparabledata, is still to be attained.
