07 December 2017, Rome Italy - Inauguration of the exhibition 65 Years of the FAO Library, 1952-2017.

Pierfrancesco Sacco, Ambassador, Permanent Representation of the Republic of Italy to FAO, and Thomas Duffy, Chargé d'Affaires a.i., Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States Mission FAO. The Director-General also launched the publication The story of the FAO Library which documents the more than a century-long history of the Library of FAO and the patrimony of knowledge it conserves for the agricultural community. To celebrate its 65th anniversary the FAO Library exhibits for three weeks a selection of rare books and incunabules (first-ever printed books dating back to 1454 - 1501). The rare books exhibition is part of the year-long exhibition that tells the story of the historic events that shaped the FAO Library, from the International Institute of Agriculture, the predecessor of FAO, until today.
