Abstract
Around 1830 Charles Albert of Savoy started the foundation of a new library, since the collections once belonging to the dukes of Savoy (the celebrated Grande Galleria of Charles Emmanuel I) had been given to the public, mainly the local University. The choices made by Charles Albert in starting new collections are the focus of the paper, along with an overall presentation of archival sources which inform on the subject. A comparison with the foundation of the Royal Library in the United Kingdom by George III along with collecting behaviour is also tackled in this paper.
