After more than sixty years of business, the Camboni bookshop on Via Redipuglia is closing its doors . Opened in 1962, it has been a landmark in the San Michele neighborhood for generations, serving readers, families, students, and teachers.

It closed last July, almost unannounced, but its absence has been noticeable in recent weeks, with the resumption of classes and families rushing to buy textbooks. The Camboni bookshop wasn't just a business. For over sixty years, it represented a cultural hub for the neighborhood, spanning generations and profound changes in reading habits. Today, those closed shutters also reflect a broader change: the gradual disappearance of neighborhood bookstores.

" We want to thank all of you: customers, students, families, teachers, and readers who have accompanied us on this long journey with love and trust ." This is the message with which the bookstore bid farewell to its customers after a history spanning more than sixty years.
