“ ‘All is well – nothing to report’ - But as everyone knows, serenity is the result of hard work and the peace of the Library is deceptive.“ (ICCROM Newsletter N. 3, p. 1., Rome: ICCROM, 1975)

These words come from one of ICCROM’s earliest Newsletters, in October 1975. At that time the Library held 8,500 items and was under the scientific supervision of the unforgettable Giorgio Torraca.
