Read the article quickly. What is unusual about this bookshop?
READING
Elena
The bookshop belongs to Luigi Frizzo. His ideas for the shop are great.
During the winter, the sea enters many of the buildings in Venice. But
Luigi’s books don’t get wet because he keeps them in boats and baths
instead of bookcases! And not all the books are for people to buy. Old
textbooks and dictionaries are now pieces of furniture and art. There are
also books on top of each other to make some stairs. I loved climbing up
them to the roof and looking out over the city.
Rosie
Last May, I spent a week in Venice with my parents and walked around the
city every day. One day, we saw the
Libreria
Acqua Alta
, or ‘High Water
Bookshop’ in English. Outside, it looked like other bookshops. We went in
because I wanted a map. We then saw it was very different. It wasn’t tidy,
but was full of wonderful things: thousands of books and about ten friendly
cats! This bookshop was my favourite place in Venice.
Christina
I visited
Libreria Acqua Alta
one morning in June and I loved it. Many
visitors in the shop felt the same as me. I spoke to a lot, and they were
not only tourists. Local families enjoy visiting the
shop too because it is so
different, and you can find every kind of book there. Luigi Frizzo owns the
shop, and he was there that morning. He took me to see the building’s fire
exit. It was very funny – the door just opens onto the water!
