The structure that houses the regional library, designed by the architect Gianni Debernardi, was built astride the Roman walls, next to the Porta decumana, on the tower which for centuries housed a Hospice de charité.

The Aosta regional library has been open since 1996 and in 2011 it was named after the Aosta Valley politician Bruno Salvadori (1942-1980).

The old Hospice chapel has been transformed into a modern 78-seat conference room, equipped with all the technologies to host conferences and presentations. The space in front of the conference room regularly hosts temporary exhibitions.
