Librarians—Italian Style

Abstract

AFTER spending the necessary time in Italy required for the field research for my doctoral dissertation on library education in Italy, I realized how little is known today about Italian librarians and their contributions to the development of Italian librarianship. As a gesture in view of this state of affairs I would like to present brief sketches of two of Italy's eminent librarians: Guido Biagi and Giuseppe Fumagalli, each of whom was ahead of his time in Italy in promoting the liberal use of libraries by the general public.
