Fondazione Biblioteca Bozzano-De Boni

Bozzano-De Boni Library Foundation

History

The Fondazione Biblioteca Bozzano-De Boni (Bozzano-De Boni Library Foundation) was founded especially thanks to the interest of an Archivio di Documentazione Storica della Ricerca Psichica's member who made the effort of finding suitable premises for the bibliographic material collected in more than a century by two scholars in paranormal phenomenology, Ernesto Bozzano (1862-1943) and Gastone De Boni (1908-1986), the premises having to suit the objectives the Library intends to pursue. The Library was run for more than ten years by the non profit association Archivio di Documentazione Storica della Ricerca Psichica in via Orfeo, 15 Bologna. Following the founding of the Foundation, on 27th november 1995, the Library found a suitable premise in Via Guglielmo Marconi,8 Bologna.

The Foundation is been legally recognized by the Giunta Regionale dell' Emilia Romagna, n. 000510, 28/10/1996, and by the Ministero per i Beni Culturali e Ambientali, 30/05/1997.

Till 30th June 1999 the Archivio di Documentazione Storica della Ricerca Psichica run the Biblioteca Bozzano-De Boni together with the Fondazione Biblioteca Bozzano-De Boni (Bozzano-De Boni Library Foundation). On 1st July 1999 the Archivio is been merged with the Fondazione Biblioteca Bozzano - De Boni, because they had the same objects. In this way the Archivio's members converge into the Foundation and Luce e Ombra has become its official organ.
