Library of the Studium Urbis or Sapienza (Palazzo Sapienza not surprisingly), a beautiful and spacious monumental hall designed by Borromini.
Graduate students presented their theses here, printed on very large sheets and with beautiful title pages, still preserved in the library.
I invite you to visit this incredible work, and of course, the nearby church.
