I am so keen! We’re hoping to visit Italy in 2026 (from Australia).

I love this idea. Over the Summer I read Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and I just wanted to move there! Your shop is much closer, so excellent 😁.

I’m not sure this is something I could realistically do, but I am loving entertaining the idea, so I thank you for that. 🙏🏽

I really hope it works out. Starting any kind of business in Italy I hear is not for faint-hearted. Sending strength, positive vibes and anti-bureaucratic thoughts your way! 🤞🏽

Thanks for the good vibes! It’s definitely a process, but I’m in for the long haul. And I love that you got the same kind of vibe as the Morisaki Bookshop here! ❤️

Yessss!! I am 100% with you XD also, as someone who fled a small town, please consider being a safe haven for 'youths'. I know, I know, horrible people, but hear me out. When I was at school I couldn't play DnD with my friends because we didn't have the right place to meet. All we needed was a roof and a table, and somewhere where librarians wouldn't shush us. if you can pull up a table and let kids be nerd in a safe space, please do so <3

What a fantastic idea! It’s a very tiny bookshop, but if I can fit that I will.

You paint a beautiful picture. Some day I’ll visit you in The Wardrobe Bookshop! Cool about C.S. I wondered about the name of your village, Narni. Must be some sort of serendipity there!
