Library of the San Marco Museum in Florence Italy
The Biblioteca di San Marco is the brainchild of Cosimo de’ Medici and was built by Michelozzo. It is the oldest library in Florence and houses rare scientific texts, works of theology and philosophy, and various codices from the Medici collection, including Missal 558 illuminated by Beato Angelico. The library is located in the San Marco museum complex among columns, arches, vaults and buildings made of pietra serena (a gray stone).
