The paper underlines five topics: 1) The relations with the politic history of the Italian Risorgimento. 2) The role of books and periodical publishing in the building of national thinking and enculturation. 3) The relations between the rising of the Italian State and publishers, typographers, booksellers. 4) Morphemic features of the printing process during its history. 5) Public libraries and public reading, in their relations both with primary, undergraduate and uppergraduate instruction on the other side. A long review is made about the relations between reading and personal freedom, since Luther's translation of the Bible; special attention is devoted to the place of reading (with evidence about women's reading) in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs, published by John Day in four widely illustrated editions.

Submitted by Marta Rubino(martarubino@libero.it) on 2006-04-03 ; This paper was presented on 2005, May, 23th, in Berlin, upon invitation of the Freie Universität. Its purpose is to present to German scholar people a glance at the world of Italian libraries, their organization and their problems, in the present situation of deep political crisis of Italy, after five years of administration of the government Berlusconi-Fini. The author strongly underlines the poorness of assets and the need for a better organization in libraries, both governmental and public. To a huge engagement in hardware and software for libraries, it does not correspond (in the opinion of the author) a sufficient economic engagement in additions of publications, both imprints and multimedia. Also human resources are strongly undervalued. As the South of Italy is poor and out-of-date as for libraries (and non only as for libraries) in comparison with the whole of the country, in the same way Italy is poor and out-of-date in comparison with the whole of Europe.
