The Library, which has been in the keeping of the Fondazione Ranieri di Sorbello since 1995, finds its origins in the 18th century collection of volumes belonging to Marquises Bourbon del Monte di Sorbello, in particular Uguccione III (1737-1816), Diomede (1743-1811) and Ugolino (1745-1809).
The first inventory we have, comprising about 3.000 volumes, dates from 1802.
