Today we talk about the Acqua Alta bookshop in Venice, or a special shop where you can buy books in the company of cats.

It is a special activity that we could define as a shop rather than a shop, given the somewhat ancient atmosphere that reigns there.

Let's talk about the shop of the Mr. Luigi Frizzo, a man who has decided to combine his passion for books with that for felines.

And in fact, in this library you can breathe the scent of those who have made their passion into a real job. Starting from the entrance, a staircase made of very old encyclopedias on the side of the canal.

The cat library in Venice is located near Campo Santa Maria Formosa, in Calle Lunga Santa Maria Formosa.

Among the many books displayed on the shelves, there are also 4 special felines. Cats who are obviously accustomed to their salesman life by now.

They spend most of their day right inside the library, always ready to find new places to take a nap.

Because in the shop, there are no real kennels. Cats sleep among books on shelves, or in a series of arranged shelters, such as some antique boats or old-fashioned tubs.

And all the customers of the bookshop seem satisfied with their presence. They know how to be with the public and do not disdain a little pampering from the many people who enter the store.

Mr. Luigi Frizzo's four-legged friends obviously love to sleep and take long naps, but also to be caressed by customers and supervise the state of the shop.

In short, at the Acqua Alta bookshop in Venice cats are real stars. But after all, it is not the first time that we have talked to you about felines that have a real profession. Like Bobo, the hardworking cat who attracts customers to his shop.
