The library of the Italian Cultural Institute of Valletta contains more than 11,000 books (mostly in Italian) available for consultation or loan.
The OPENING HOURS of the library are the same as the Institute.
Among the most popular sections, alongside Italian novels, are Italian language learning, history, all forms of art, and books for young readers.
In addition, while focusing on Italian literature, the catalogue also includes translations of foreign authors and a selection of texts related to Malta and its culture.
