Libreria Palazzo Roberti
Another iconic building in the city is the “Libreria Palazzo Roberti“, a library imbued with history. Legend say that Napoleon slept in one of its rooms! It is also an incredible opportunity to find a nice book to truly enjoy your Italian holidays.
Monte Grappa: a hiking paradise!
