'Paolo Emilio Pecorella' Library

The Pecorella library, located within the CAMNES headquarters in Via del Giglio 15 in Florence (Italy), was born to the commitment of the co-directors of the Study Center, Guido Guarducci and Stefano Valentini - both students of Prof. Pecorella - and the friendly help of the Pecorella family, who donated to CAMNES all of the volumes of archeology and ancient studies of the Professor. To these volumes were added those of CAMNES, for a total of more than 2500 volumes, collected in 9 bookcases. The library, which also includes a section dedicated to journals, is divided into thematic sections ranging from archeology and history of the ancient Near East (Mesopotamia, Anatolia, the Levant and Iran) archeology of Cyprus and the Aegean. An important section is dedicated to the glyptic art of the ancient Near East and the Aegean.
