Tarantola 1899 Bookshop

Libreria Tarantola 1899 is a historic independent bookshop located at Via Fratelli Porcellaga 4, in the centre of Brescia. Founded in 1899, today it is much more than just a bookstore: it is also a literary café and publishing house, a meeting point for readers, authors, and culture lovers. On the shelves you'll find everything from literary classics to new releases, essays, fiction, children's books, and a section dedicated to old and hard-to-find books, with volume search and evaluation services. The Tarantola Publishing House, attached to the bookstore, focuses on projects related to the history of the area, businesses, and families in Brescia. Thanks to presentations, meetings, reading clubs, and events in the literary café, Libreria Tarantola 1899 has become a true place of socializing and dissemination, a cultural hub that keeps alive the passion for books and bibliodiversity.
