On Saturday 14 November 2026, at 10.30 am, the "Farinone-Centa" Civic Library in Varallo presents the ancient volumes restored thanks to the contribution of the Piedmont Region. There are eight works of great value, belonging to the oldest core of the library's collections and partly coming from the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The restoration, designed by the Bottega Fagnola of Turin and authorised by the Archival and Bibliographic Superintendency of Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta, was carried out in a fully reversible manner. During the meeting the director Piera Mazzone introduces the works and the restorer Paola Fagnola explains how the individual copies were treated. The restored volumes remain on display in the Conference Room for the entire duration of the event, with free admission. The initiative is organised by the "Farinone-Centa" Civic Library.
