MANTOVA LIBRI MAPPE STAMPE (Mantova)
May and September
The oldest antiquarian book fair in Italy, established 1975.
Mantova Libri Mappe Stampe (Mantua Books, Maps & Prints) antiques fair carries on a tradition started in 1975, when the first event in Italy entirely dedicated to antique prints, maps & books and their collection was held in Mantua.
Over Forty Italian and international exhibitors (including specialist bookshops and professional antique prints and maps dealers) have already confirmed their attendance to this renowned and most awaited fair.
Precious old books, such as the 16th-century printed books by famous printers like Manunzio and Giunta, rare and curious prints dating from the 16th through to the 20th centuries and a large variety of antique maps and decorative prints (always original and guaranteed by professional dealers) attract the interest of enthusiastic visitors and satisfy even the most demanding collectors.
A special section of the fair is dedicated to cartography and includes maps, atlases, landscapes and topographic maps.
Cost of entry – free admittance
