To enter Cascianelli's antique bookshop in Largo Febo 15 is to plunge into the first years of the nineteenth century, when its walnut furnishings were built: tables and cabinets along the walls draw an arch across the door and wrap its jamb with their small angle cubicle
The shop dealt in ecclesiastical tailoring and trimmings until 1950, when the antiquarian bookshop, previously active elsewhere, took over.
History, art and ancient Rome come back to life on these premises which have often been used as evocative background for films and exhibitions.
