The Museum of Rome in Trastevere is part of the Musei in Comune and is located in the former seventeenth-century Carmelite convent of Piazza S. Egidio in the Trastevere district of Rome. Restored between 1969 and 1973, it was reopened to the public in 1977 with the name of "Museum of Folklore and Romanesque Poets"; The permanent exhibition consisted of materials from the Museum of the city of Rome at the former Pastificio Pantanella at the Bocca della Verità, then exhibited in Palazzo Braschi, relating to scenes of Roman daily life between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Roman Scenes represent in their apparent realism an extraordinary document of ethnographic museography. To act as a counterpoint to the Scenes, watercolors, paintings and engravings tell the city in its costumes, its festivals and its traditions, among these very well represented is the Carnival which in the nineteenth century reaches its moment of maximum splendor. The watercolors by Roesler Franz contribute to the re-enactment of the “vanished Rome” which due to their delicacy can only be exhibited in rotation. The banks of the Tiber, destroyed with the advent of the walls, the characteristic corners of the ghetto or Trastevere, now disappeared, come to life in the easy and loose narrative of the artist played on the tones of elegy and picturesque documentation. The materials of Studio Trilussa that have long been merged with its archive in the Museum constitute a precious testimony of the literary production in the Roman dialect and of one of its most famous interpreters. The Museum of Rome in Trastevere wanted to present itself as a living place where the contemporaneity of the news can take on the meaning of historical documentation and interact dialectically with the past, enriching the space and the offer of temporary exhibitions, conferences on themes and personalities closely linked to the city life, with the focus on cinema, multimedia and photography.
