AN EXTRAORDINARY LOCATION

The historic Studium Library

The historic Studium bookshop in the San Marco district was taken over by The Merchant of Venice and completely renovated after a project of reconcept and relaunch of the editorial and commercial offer. An intervention that strengthens its vocation as an international bookshop and enriches it with an unprecedented olfactory library. Here, in fact, you will find a room entirely dedicated to olfactory culture with specialized publications and an innovative reinterpretation of the ancient perfumer’s organ.
