Due to security reasons of the Embassy of France, identity checks are intensified at Palazzo Farnese’s reception.

In order to ensure your best possible reception at the library, please take note of the following rules:

• Public access is subject to systematic checks and screening. We thank you in advance for collaborating with the security personnel to facilitate these operations that could take some minutes.
• Please bring a valid identity document and, if you are already enrolled, your library card to access Palazzo Farnese.

If you’re not yet enrolled in the Library, or if you need to renew the card, please check how to register at the page Registrations and renewals.

The EFR Library is at the second floor of Palazzo Farnese. An elevator is at your disposal.

Once at the library, please sign the entry register and leave your library card in the card box.

Simple rules are applied at the library. Before your arrival, please take a look at the Library Rules and Regulations (in French).

For preventive conservation reasons, we remind you that it is forbidden to consume food and beverages in the Library. A terrace is at your disposal.

Before you leave the library, please place the books you no longer consult on the tables for the books to be put back, or, if you want to continue the consultation in the following days, fill in the maneat form, available at the reception points of the library, put it inside the stack of books you want to keep apart, and place the stack on the nearest collection point.

When you leave, do not forget to take back your card and sign the register again.

Have a great stay!
