In the last two years two new university libraries have been opened to the public in Perugia. The first one is the so-called Biblioteca Umanistica (Humanities Library), the second is the new Medical Library.
The two libraries are quite different: the Biblioteca umanistica is located in an old building completely refurbished for this purpose in one of the oldest parts of the city centre; whereas the Medical Library is located in a new building outside town, close to the major hospital.
The artilcle describes the two libraries and their characteristics. It also gives some statistical data and some information on their costs for the furniture and the moving of the library collections. Finally there is a short history of the Faculty of Medicine of this old university (founded en 1308), and its library.
