“Experiential Library”

Although it had dedicated rooms, the library of the Liceo Artistico in Romagnano was a bare, unused space that was neither attractive nor functional for the students. Through repainting, refinishing the window frames, and wall decorations created by the students, it has gained new brightness, while the addition of new furniture has made the space extremely functional.
The small tables at the library entrance allow students to consult books even when other activities are taking place in the main room, which is equipped with two large extendable tables and seating for sixteen. Furthermore, the main room features computers and a video projector, making the space more dynamic so it can be used for various needs.
The one hundred volumes purchased by the Foundation — focused on drawing, illustration, animation, and multimedia—add to the approximately three hundred volumes already owned by the school, with the goal of expanding the collection in the coming years. In this way, learning through a new experiential library will enrich the educational offerings, making them better suited to contemporary needs. It was designed not only for reading, but above all as a gathering place for students and teachers, capable of hosting meetings, workshops, or lessons.
The library was inaugurated on Friday, December 15, 2017, and is the sixth Lucrezia Tangorra Library. The following individuals and groups contributed to the realization of this project (in no particular order): the teaching staff, the students, Alessandro Biggio, Guido Zerbinati, Alessandro Trotti, Francesco Canetta, and Fabio Lagiannella. Thank you to everyone — without your time and help, we would not have been able to achieve all of this.
