“Biblioteca del comune”: intorno al genitivo

Abstract

The paper is a consideration about the seminar “Alle radici della Rete Bibliotecaria: 30 anni della Rete Bibliotecaria Bresciana e 40 anni del Sistema Bibliotecario Brescia est” which took place in Rezzato (BS) on 21st September 2018. The author reiterates the importance of the public library’s democratic role, even more in these days, marked out by authoritarian forces. He testifies to principles which led a prolonged, common professional commitment. The author believes that these principles aren’t ancient relics, so he recalls to mind some themes developed in previous essays.
