On Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October 2026, as part of Roma Diffusa 2026, the Biblioteca Fiamma Lanzara, together with the entire Accademia, opened its doors to the city, welcoming over 700 visitors across two days dedicated to exploring its history, cultural heritage and the values at the heart of its mission.

Throughout the weekend, visitors took part in guided tours, enjoying the opportunity to discover a place dedicated to preserving and celebrating a rich heritage of knowledge, historical records and collective memory.

The remarkable turnout reflects the city’s growing interest in cultural spaces that foster connections between the past, present and future.

The guided tours were led by Viviana Damiano, Head of Biblioteca Fiamma Lanzara, who brought the Library’s story to life, sharing insights into its history, identity, the significance of its prestigious collections and its role within both the academic community and Italy’s wider cultural landscape.

The visits offered an opportunity to discover not only the Library’s extensive collection of books and archival materials, but also the vision that continues to shape its activities and purpose.

Participation in Roma Diffusa further reaffirms Accademia Costume & Moda‘s commitment to strengthening its ties with the local community and contributing to the cultural vibrancy of Rome’s Esquilino district.

Because culture becomes even more valuable when it is shared.
