Mazzoni Pamphlet Collection Duke UniversityThis collection of 50,000 rare Italian pamphlets was acquired by Duke University in 1948. It is very likely one of the largest collections of an Italian private library in the United States. Assembled by the late Professor Guido Mazzoni, who taught Italian Literature in Padua and Florence and was Senator for life in the Italian Parliament, the collection consists of pamphlets, newspapers, programs, catalogs, and small volumes dating from the 16th through 20th centuries.
