La Capitolare
Just a few steps from the Hotel Due Torri is the oldest library in the world, La Capitolare, which houses a collection of more than 1,200 manuscripts, including works that are unique in the world. Among its shelves we can trace texts from the most diverse disciplines: theology, law, poetry, philosophy, astronomy, medicine, botany, history and numerous other sciences.
Among the most prestigious works there is the world's oldest copy of St.Augustine's De Civitate Dei, written in the early 5th century, when the saint was still alive. Also of fundamental importance are the Institutions of Gaius, dating back to the 5th century. Among the most iconic depictions, the so-called Rateriana Iconography is the first graphic representation of Verona: an evocative and narrative image, named after the bishop who commissioned it
