Museo di Roma in Trastevere

Probably in the most genuine district of Rome, Trastevere, a museum dedicated to Rome and to its folkloristic tradition was founded in 1977. The Museo di Roma in Trastevere permanent collection shows different aspect of popular life in Rome between 18th and 19th century: there is anything you can imagine, from original costumes, to popular dances and religious festival objects. An important part of the collection includes watercolours and drawings from the Vanished Rome series by Ettore Roesler Franz (Roma 1845 – 1907), but what the visitors most appreciate are the belongings of the Roman poet Trilussa, donated to the city after is death in 1950 and today displayed in a multimedia room. Several are the paintings showing interesting and sometimes no more existing view of the Eternal City.
