The paper reconstructs the relationship between Senator Ugo Da Como (1869-1941), a collector, and the priest Paolo Guerrini (1880-1960), a local historian. The sources are mainly documents preserved in the Foundation Ugo Da Como (Lonato del Garda), which offer interesting informations on the making of the personal book collection of Da Como and, more generally, on the history of printing in Brescia. The author further emphasizes a less known aspect of the life of Guerrini, who was a prominent figure in the local antiquarian book trade during the Twenties and the Thirties of the 20th century.

Abstract
The paper reconstructs the relationship between Senator Ugo Da Como (1869-1941), a collector, and the priest Paolo Guerrini (1880-1960), a local historian. The sources are mainly documents preserved in the Foundation Ugo Da Como (Lonato del Garda), which offer interesting informations on the making of the personal book collection of Da Como and, more generally, on the history of printing in Brescia. The author further emphasizes a less known aspect of the life of Guerrini, who was a prominent figure in the local antiquarian book trade during the Twenties and the Thirties of the 20th century.
