About

By storing books in bathtubs and boats, this Venice bookstore has resigned itself to constant flooding.

In Venice, where roads are made of water, having a collection of books would be extremely risky. Fortunately, Libreria Acqua Alta's titles are kept safe and sound in waterproof basins. Well-deservedly known as the “most beautiful bookstore in the world”, it displays a number of diverse books, magazines and maps all crammed into bathtubs, bins and even an entire gondola for added measure.
