Italian Twitter users share quarantine bookshelf photos under #scaffali

During Italy's COVID-19 lockdown, journalist and political blogger Filippo Sensi sparked a viral trend on Twitter by asking followers to post photos of their home bookshelves and explain how they organize them. Using the hashtag #scaffali, users shared images of books arranged by color, size, author, publisher, or randomly, turning domestic spaces into colorful displays. The trend, initiated on the account @nomfup, generated a flood of responses from across Italy, showcasing diverse shelving styles from minimalist to rainbow-ordered collections. Artribune compiled a gallery of the most interesting examples. The phenomenon highlights how quarantine has prompted people to engage in domestic activities like reorganizing libraries, which often hold personal memories and dedications.
