    This is a public library with a difference. It’s not your regular suburban library and your library card won’t work here. Founded in the 18th century, the library holds manuscripts and works by such leading minds as Hippocrates, Newton, Galilei, Euler and Descartes. Whilst you can’t borrow, read or or even touch them, it is a marvellous place for a quick visit.
    The towering wooden bookcases with ornate carving are beautiful in themselves and the walls and vaulted ceilings are covered in different themed frescoes, ranging from philosophers, scientists and saints to medallions with portraits of the worthier emperors. Delicately coloured garlands, vines and animals fill the gaps.
    The library was originally a Jesuit college but when the religious order was suppressed in 1773, its collection of some 5000 volumes was seized and became the core of the new library.
    Whilst, the library isn’t routinely open to the public, we had heard that if you went in and asked, staff would let you in. This was very straightforward, entry was free and the staff were very helpful.

    This is a historical library, of which there are many in Italy and in the world. What makes this one special is the guided tour, given by Signor Giancarlo, and which will allow you to be as close to a 15th Century book as an amateur could be. I love the smell of old books and this library has 150.000 volumes. The collection includes some in parchment and in the very first papers manufactured in the area, a good number of incunabula and manuscripts. the collection came from several sources, like the donations of the family Pianetti that gave the name to the library. The area had 4 convents and when these disappeared, the books were transferred to this community library as well. With incredible care and gloves, the tour transports you along 500 years of the history of books. One of the them was particularly interesting, because it contained a chain. It was the 15th Century city regulations, which was displayed in a public place for everyone to consult but chained to a fixed place so users couldn't take it away. It is marked by its many users, including the dirt of their fingers. This library is a hidden jewel - for the guided tour you need to go to the tourist info office of Jesi and find out...

    We had an hour to use up so we headed to the Library, located in the corner of the main piazza. As remarked by other reviewers, the staff are very helpful. As you enter there is an area for young readers, while the other reading rooms are on the upper floor. If the weather is inclement this is a good place to relax and read some books or magazines. Compared to many other libraries there is no coffee shop but cafes nearby.
