Via Roma 69

Just a few more shots about the ambience of the new premises of the Belforte bookstore in via Roma.
Speaking of distances from Livorno, Rome and Santiago de Compostela seem quite right, Jerusalem should be much nearer than that, but we are probably speaking of pilgrimage routes. We also have a ‘disinformation desk’ which is a glass top resting on four piles of books.

Belforte, via Roma

A few weeks ago we read on its shutters that the Belforte Bookstore had moved to a new location in Via Roma. We have just visited the new shop, which is simply lovely: small, but creatively furnished and decorated.
Considered that it opened early last month the bookstore is understandably understocked, but all the important stuff is already on the shelves. Anyway, looking around you will not surely get bored.

There is also a small stage, a piano is coming soon, and the place also hosts local cultural events almost daily. We will see something more in a few days.

Belforte

Four years ago the locally renowned “Belforte” bookstore moved from its historic premises in Via Grande to a nearby location in Via della Madonna. It didn't last, and the shop has moved again to a place in Via Roma, slightly outside the city center. The owner wrote on the shutters:

“Mi sono trasferito in via Roma 69, vi porto tutti nel cuore”
(I have moved to via Roma 69, I carry all of you in my heart)

“No Wi-Fi zone, parlate tra voi, che le parole sono importanti!”
(No Wi-Fi zone, talk to each other, because words are important)

Belforte Bookstore

A few days ago, the well known “Belforte” bookshop moved from its historic premises in “Via Grande” to another location nearby, in “Via della Madonna”. Here are the decorated new shutters.Estabilished in 1805, Salomone Belforte & C. is also a publishing house. Their motto, “Et voluisse sat est”, comes from an elegy by Sextus Propertius and translates as: it is enough to have had the determination.

This bookstore has opened about a week ago: it's huge, central and open till midnight. It has a bar, but not so many books: anyway a nice thing to have a block from home!
