Biblioteca e Archivio del Risorgimento [Library and Archive of the Risorgimento], located in the Historic Center of Florence, houses regional collections relating to the Italian unification and the mid-18th century.

[1][2][3] The Library and Archive, owned and operated by the city of Florence, was founded in August 1945 as a restoration and replacement of the Museo del Risorgimento di Firenze founded in 1901.

[4][5] Nonetheless, the facility and collections were restored and the Library and Archive reopened in 1969.

The Library and Archive is in the same building as: In 2007, Italian Senator Paolo Amato (it) (born 1954) during Italy's 15th Legislature (2006–2008), introduced a Bill to restore of the Museum of the Risorgimento in Florence, partly in commemoration the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy (2011).

The Bill states that the museum had been open to the public only nineteen years, from 1909 though 1938, and was dismantled in 1945, after World War II.
