TheBiblioteca Classense is thepublic library of Ravenna, Italy.
In 1803, with the Napoleonic suppression of monasteries and religious institutions, a library was created to harbor the confiscated books. They were housed in the library of theCamaldolese Monastery, which had been founded in the 17th century by the Abbott Pietro Canneti with books moved here from the abbey adjacent toSant'Apollinare in Classe. The collection was expanded with donation from the architectCamillo Morigia (1743-1795) and the art criticCorrado Ricci (1858-1934).
It now includes manuscript codices,incunabula, prints, musical works, and numerous artworks and books.
The library has a large collection of editions of the works related toDante Alighieri.[1]
