Simonetta Buttò
Istituto centrale per il catalogo unico delle biblioteche italiane (ICCU), MiBAC
Simonetta Buttò (Roma 1957), laureata in Letteratura italiana alla Sapienza-Università
di Roma e specializzata in Filologia moderna e in Codicologia ha diretto la Biblioteca
universitaria di Genova, la Biblioteca di storia moderna e contemporanea di Roma,
la Biblioteca Nazionale “Vittorio Emanuele III” di Napoli e dal maggio 2015 dirige
l’Istituto centrale per il catalogo unico delle biblioteche italiane e per le informazioni
bibliografiche. A partire dal 1998 è stata docente in diverse università italiane, fra
cui L’Aquila, Pisa, Siena, Roma (Scuola di Specializzazione in Beni Archivisti e Librari
della Sapienza e Scuola di Alta Formazione dell’Istituto Centrale per il Restauro
e la Conservazione del Patrimonio Archivistico e Librario del MiBAC). Direttore
responsabile di «DigItalia: rivista del digitale nei beni culturali», è socio corrispondente
dell’Istituto Nazionale di Studi Romani, socio ordinario del Centro Nazionale di Studi
Leopardiani, rappresentante del MiBACT in seno al Consiglio Direttivo dell’Accademia
Lancisiana e componente del Comitato scientifico e di lettura della collana “Pagine

Fra reti europee e servizi ai cittadini: strategie e modelli innovativi per l’accesso al patrimonio
culturale digitale
Il contributo intende offrire una panoramica delle attività svolte dall’Istituto centrale per il catalogo unico delle biblioteche
italiane-ICCU sia nell’ambito delle reti europee per il digitale e la ricerca, che per lo sviluppo dei servizi bibliografici nazionali.
L’ICCU infatti partecipa da almeno 15 anni allo sviluppo di infrastrutture digitali per la fruizione del patrimonio culturale
e di quelle dedicate alla gestione dei prodotti della ricerca scientifica nel campo delle Digital humanities, con l’obiettivo
di favorire una nuova cultura del digitale che punti sulla diffusione dei dati aperti e sul riuso dei contenuti digitali delle
biblioteche e degli altri istituti culturali, sia a livello delle politiche nazionale che in ambito europeo. In questo contesto di
ampliamento delle reti internazionali si colloca anche il rafforzamento della cooperazione fra istituzioni nazionali: l’ICCU
infatti ha recentemente dato l’avvio, dopo una lunga fase di studio, alla realizzazione di un Sistema di ricerca integrato
e catalogo generale delle risorse descritte nelle principali banche dati gestite dall’ICCU che costituirà uno strumento di
visibilità nazionale del lavoro trentennale svolto da tutte le istituzioni bibliotecarie, oggi quasi 6400 di ogni appartenenza
amministrativa e anche private, aderenti a SBN. Nel nuovo modello informativo, i dati presenti in Indice SBN, nella
biblioteca digitale di Internet culturale e i singoli database specialistici, in primo luogo Manus on line per i manoscritti
e EDIT16 per le edizioni del Cinquecento, saranno accessibili a partire da un’interfaccia unica che rappresenterà un
vero e proprio portale delle biblioteche e degli istituti culturali italiani offerto alla cittadinanza, una piattaforma di servizi
informativi in grado di offrire al pubblico una nuova esperienza di navigazione tra record di catalogo arricchiti e risorse
digitali, anche di natura diversa da quella bibliografica.
Between European networks and services to citizens: innovative strategies and models for
access to digital cultural heritage
This talk will offer an overview of the activities carried out by the Istituto Centrale per il catalogo unico delle biblioteche
italiane (ICCU - Central institute for the union catalogue of Italian libraries) both in the context of European networks
for research digital innovation and in the frame of the development of national bibliographic services. The ICCU has
been developing for more than 15 years digital infrastructures for cultural heritage and for the management of research
products in the humanities, supporting approaches aimed at disseminating open data and re-using the digital contents
of libraries and other cultural institutes, both at the national and the European levels. Along with the development
of international networks strengthening the cooperation between national institutions has also been central. After a
lengthy study phase, the ICCU recently started the creation of an integrated research system and union catalogue of the
resources described in the data bases managed by the ICCU. This will be a valuable tool providing visibility at the national
level for the thirty-year work carried out by all the library institutions affiliated with SBN, currently number in almost 6400
and belonging to different administrations or private subjects. The data in the SBN Index, in the Internet Culturale digital
library and in single specialised databases, such as Manus online for manuscripts and EDIT16 for sixteenth century prints,
will be accessible from a single interface, which will be a true portal to Italian libraries and cultural institutes offered to the
citizenship. Thus, such an information services platform will enable users with a new browsing experience, integrating
enriched catalogue records and digital resources, even of a different nature than the bibliographic one.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina. The rise of a building
The revival of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina began in Egypt in the mid-1970s and was eventually internationally embraced.
UNESCO and UIA organized an architectural competition and awarded the honor to the Norwegian firm Snøhetta in
1988. In 1990 UNESCO’s International Commission for the Revival of the Ancient Library of Alexandria expressed a
formidable vision for the new library. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina will stand as a testimony to a decisive moment in
the history of human thought - the attempt to constitute a summon of knowledge, to assemble the writings of all the
peoples. It will bear witness to an original undertaking that, in embracing the totality and diversity of human experience,
became the matrix for a new spirit of critical inquiry, for a heightened perception of knowledge as a collaborative process.

Designing new library buildings
Buildings that house libraries are breaking with traditional ideas of what a library should be. Libraries are transforming
to adapt to the new reality and are hosting an ever more extensive range of activities. Alongside the spaces needed to
store and consult information, libraries are now home to spaces where people can meet and interact, be creative, study,
work in groups, upgrade their skills, rest and relax, as well as spaces for exhibitions, presentations, concerts and bars. As
institutions which enjoy widespread social acceptance, libraries are also able to encourage other types of services and
so, in many cases, become genuine focal points for cultural and educational activities in their respective communities. I
will be listing the trends that are determining the future of both public and university libraries, paying particular attention
to the trends which have an impact on physical space, and must therefore be taken into account when designing
and constructing buildings. These trends are linked to library users, library collections, improving existing services and
incorporating new ones, and to changes in the way libraries are being organized and managed. I will also be discussing
the importance of producing a clearly-defined activity programme and establishing whether library systems, both
academic and public, have determined the model that they wish to employ. This information is key to be able to carry
out a suitable architectural project. In my closing remarks, I will deal with the use of historical buildings, and how best to
assess their advantages and disadvantages, in the construction of these new libraries.

University libraries, universal libraries
The needs of conservation, organization and restoration, together with the challenges of the opening hypercomplex
era of hyperfast communication, have triggered a project in the Library System of the University of Genova, a manifold
mixture of small and large scale transformations.
The general objective is a metamorphose of the whole system, with the ambition of realizing not just the due updating,
but perhaps a sustainable model for a new generation university library system. Some of these projects are being
accomplished in this very moment, others will take off in the near future and yet others need the injection of ideas and
the active participation of the world experts and maitres à penser that this conference wants to promote. Poetry, science,
political and religious visions have been printed in books which are kept in buildings that we call libraries. Roughly thirty
years ago the tangible nature of a paper page was paired with the less tangible concept of bit, but the home of bytes
is yet to be built. Arguably, it is the world, where no walls need to be erected to protect them from fire because they
do not burn. Yet Europe, Italy, and certainly Genova, host large collections of books in old buildings with historical an
artistic value that pose very serious general questions. The words “books, buildings and bytes” may serve as the title of the
ongoing story on where we stand in the process of redefining the very concept of library, in the search of a universal
notion.

Architetture, immagini, libri: una storia negli spazi del Collegio gesuitico e della Chiesa dei Santi
Gerolamo e Francesco Saverio
Gli spazi della sede storica dell’Ateneo genovese e quelli attigui della ex Biblioteca Universitaria, nella chiesa dei santi
Girolamo e Francesco Saverio, hanno visto stratificarsi nel tempo diverse strategie comunicative. Pagine scritte e immagini
hanno registrato modalità e volontà diverse di coniugare progetti culturali, volontà politiche, ideologie. L’intervento
vuole sottolineare come anche dall’analisi di quegli spazi e dalla memoria di quei luoghi debba partire un’ipotesi attuale
di uso.
Architectures, images, books: a story in the space of the ‘Collegio dei Gesuiti’ and ‘Santi
Gerolamo e Francesco Saverio’ Church
The spaces of the historic headquarters of the Genoese University and those adjacent to the former University Library,
in the ‘Santi Girolamo and Francesco Saverio’ Church, have seen different communication strategies stratify over the
years. Written pages and images have recorded different ways and wills to combine cultural projects, political wills and
ideologies. The oral presentation wants to underline how a current hypothesis of use should start also from the analysis
of those spaces and from their memory.

“Ornamenti condotti con allegria, dignità et ordine straordinario”: decorazioni pittoriche delle
biblioteche
Sin dall’antichità le biblioteche hanno avuto un apparato decorativo, dipinto e scultoreo, a cui era affidato il compito
di trasmettere ai fruitori delle raccolte e ai visitatori precetti e allegorie morali, filosofiche, storiche e religiose, come è
testimoniato per il Rinascimento italiano ad esempio dai testi di Leon Battista Alberti (De re aedificatoria, VIII, IX) e di
Giovan Battista Armenini (De’ veri precetti della pittura, Ravenna 1586, III, VI). In particolare la pittura murale, nelle sue
varie tecniche esecutive, oltre alle vetrate, stucchi e sculture, ha avuto una parte preponderante nelle decorazioni degli
ambienti destinati sin da principio ad accogliere le raccolte di documenti e di libri, stimolando la creatività di numerosi
artisti come, tra gli altri, Melozzo da Forlì, Schiavone, Veronese, Tintoretto, Pellegrino Tibaldi, Strozzi, Luca Giordano,
Delacroix, Sargent, Puvis de Chavanne, le cui realizzazioni verranno brevemente mostrate. Importanti cicli pittorici ornano
anche le pareti di complessi architettonici nati per altre funzioni che sono stati successivamente utilizzati come biblioteche
pubbliche, quali dimore della nobiltà, conventi, chiese, come è avvenuto per l’ex Biblioteca Universitaria di Genova, al
centro del presente convegno. Per i dipinti seicenteschi del Piola di quest’ultima saranno fornite in conclusione alcune
informazioni sulla tecnica esecutiva, che chi scrive ha potuto esaminare personalmente anni fa.

The rediscovered past. A future to be built
Very few people, not certainly the youngest, remember the former reading room of the University Library in via Balbi3
in Genoa. It closed several years ago and moved to the refurbished former Hotel Columbia in front of Principe’s railway
station. Nobody, since then, a part few employees ever saw the frescos by Domenico Piola in the vault of the abs of the
baroque church of Santi Gerolamo e Francesco Saverio that hosted until then the Library. Even more, almost nobody,
even in the previous decades, ever saw the other frescos and stuccos on the walls of the nave of the church and in
its little lateral choirs. They were in fact covered with water-lime colours or simply hidden behind the scaffolds of the
depot where nobody could enter. They have been thus simply forgotten after the hard interventions that completely
transformed the church, in the thirties of the last century. Even before they were substantially ignored by the public and
only studied by historians of art. Their remains are more extended then supposed or imagined until now and are now
again visible as a precious “material” trace of a complex and rich past that should be rediscovered by all and put in value.
The congress is also the first important occasion to reflect upon the fate of this building/place not to abandon it another
time like a sort of “black-hole” within the city centre.

Libri, saperi, uomini nella storia e nel futuro delle biblioteche
Le biblioteche hanno rappresentato non solo i luoghi nei quali si depositano le conoscenze, ma anche dove si
accumulano le tracce di uomini che hanno scritto (autori), revisionato (censori), pubblicato (stampatori-editori), ordinato
e catalogato (bibliotecari), letto (fruitori) i libri che vi si custodiscono. Un intreccio di figure e di competenze, la cui
memoria si materializza negli apparati paratestuali (permessi di stampa, lettere dedicatorie, avvisi ai lettori); si sedimenta
in note di possesso, timbri di provenienza, glosse, appunti, note e dediche autografe; si trasmette in cataloghi, indici,
reti informatiche. Dietro l’universo libro, e solo attraverso la conservazione degli esemplari preservati nelle biblioteche, è
dunque possibile ricostruire sia i saperi che la storia stessa di questi saperi e la loro circolazione.

La biblioteca come forma del sapere
Operiamo attraverso i sensi; il viso dirige il movimento e crea l‘orientamento; con il tasto troviamo l‘oggetto; ed il libro
si apre come un mondo ordinato, foglio per foglio con capitoli, indici... tutti i sistemi basati su un ordine d‘alfabeto,
parola, grammatica e sintassi. Giusto lipsio chiede per una biblioteca libro, luogo ( punto di riferimento della memoria)
e armarium (mezzo d‘ordine fisico del libro). Basta per rappresentare gli ordini (già) formulati dalla cultura e tradizione a
garantirci quello che claude clément definisce “comparanda eruditio“: ci muoviamo DENTRO i nostri saperi ed utlizziamo
quanto hanno considerato, ordinato e trattato quelli che prima di noi hanno aperto le strade.

New books in old buildings. Are bits the solution?
From its origin round 1900 the Bibliotheca Hertziana resides in historic buildings never designed for library use in the
tecnical sense. Being situated in the heart of Rome, however, it worked very well as location. This was among the
reasons why it was decided to stay there when major reconstructions became necessary in the eraly 1990. The new
library building, constructed under huge difficulties and inaugurated in 2013, turned out to be problematic in many
senses, although it has been planned explicitely for library use. In the meantime many think that digitization might offer
solutions to many of these problems, old and new.

The Second Hand Library Building – O dear or WOW?
For a long time transforming buildings into libraries that were built for different use was seen as extremely problematic.
Would the entire structure meet the special requirements of a public or academic library? Meanwhile in spite of famous,
brilliant new libraries, real architectural landmark buildings, a growing interest in transforming existing buildings into
libraries can be recognized. Not only Europe is the home of several thousand libraries that are located in old or ancient
buildings. Former churches, railway stations, factories, soldier barracks, any kind of baroque buildings, supermarkets etc.
are turned into amazing libraries – often worth for library and architecture competitions or environmental awards. It is
also the “spirit of the place“ that makes „The WOW Effect“ of a second hand library building that attracts loyal customers,
apart from the question of printed, electronic or online resources. To rededicate a building with a former different usage
into a library is also some kind of recycling. The transformation opens the challenge for sustainable aspects in library
planning. The recycling of an old building means decreasing the ecological footprint of library buildings, not always but
possibly in a cost-effective and efficient way. The paper will present outstanding examples of interesting and convincing
building conversions from academic as well as public libraries e.g. from Italy, Germany, Austria, and Spain.Elisa Bricco

Il gruppo di ricerca F@rum: un’esperienza di gestione del patrimonio testuale in rete
L’edizione elettronica di testi antichi può essere considerata come una chance per dare nuova vita a opere che sono
ormai dimenticate perché difficilmente reperibili e scarsamente leggibili per un lettore contemporaneo. Il gruppo di
ricerca F@rum ha sviluppato e realizzato l’edizione online di un testo del Seicento francese, Les Femmes illustres di G.
de Scudéry (1664), rendendolo finalmente fruibile. Il progetto prevede anche lo sviluppo di un Museo virtuale dove il
testo diventa il centro di un’avventura di scoperta della cultura seicentesca. La comunicazione mostrerà lo sviluppo e la
realizzazione del progetto mettendo in luce gli interrogativi dei ricercatori e le soluzioni adottate insieme alle riflessioni
sulla pubblicazione sul web delle opere del passato.
The F@rum research team: an experience of managing textual heritage on the Net
The electronic edition of ancient texts can be considered as a chance to give new life to literary works that are by now
forgotten because difficult to find and scarcely readable for a contemporary reader. The F@rum research group has
developed and produced the online edition of a 17th century French text, G. de Scudéry’s Les Femmes illustres (1664),
making it finally accessible. The project also includes the development of a virtual museum where the text becomes the
center of an adventure of discovery of seventeenth-century culture. Our contribution will show the development and
the realization of the project highlighting the questions of the researchers and the solutions adopted together with the
reflections on the publication on the web of the literary works of the past.Puoi anche leggere
