Guarneriana Library (San daniele del Friuli)
The Biblioteca Guarneriana is one of the first public libraries in Italy and the first in Friuli. Founded in 1466 by Guarnerio D'Artegna, it includes numerous illuminated works, a rare edition of Dante's Inferno dating back to the 14th century and numerous printed editions of the 16th century.
Among the oldest manuscripts, the most prestigious one is the so-called Byzantine Bible. This codex is surrounded by a halo of mystery regarding its origin, and its miniatures are an interesting mixture of Western and Levantine elements. The Guarneriana was visited by illustrious figures such as Foscolo, Nievo and Carducci.
