I have been collecting prints by Roberto Hoesch for 30 years. Having been to Venice twice I was surprised to hear of your store just last week. I have purchased these “Rinascimento Raccolte” in book stores from Washington State to Germany both in person and with sites such as Abe Books. As yet have not found Beat Angelico #1,Pinacoteca di Brera, Titian, or Michelangelo #3. I would appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks Don

I came across you blog in my research for an upcoming photo shoot in Venice. What a fun book store for any bibliophile. It’s a must see for me. Thanks.

Oh wow, this place looks amazing!! Probably sort of “a hole in the wall” and a great microcosm to get lost in for an hour, or two or three. :) I’m sure you could literally smell stories in there… Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful tip! Especially for book lovers, who have settled down and do not plan to move anymore. I love bookshops and will definitely visit this one on my next trip to Venice!

Hi Serena!
Thanks for your comment!
True, it definitely won’t be easy to find what you’re looking for … that’s why I’d recommend to just go there without having a specific book in mind :)
Best, Nisa

Oh wow, this looks like my idea of heaven! I can’t believe I visited Venice without going here, but I will make it a priority next time.

Acqua Alta is an awesome place and I always stop there everytime I visit Venice.
It’s a place I totally recommend to any booklovers around: maybe it’s not too “easy” to find the book you are looking for, but digging into that amount of books is so great!
And the combination of cats + books for me is a blast :)
