The Museum is housed inside the Porta S. Sebastian of the Aurelian walls and offers visitors an educational itinerary focused on this important defensive system created in the 3rd century by Emperor Aurelian, and constantly restored throughout the rest of Rome’s history.
The view from the gate’s towers is wonderful and it is possible to walk along the walkways of the soldiers too.

The collection gets its name from the Barone Giovanni Barracco, a passionate of antiquities, who bequeathed it to the city of Rome in 1902.

Contains Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman sculpture, some dating from 1500 BC. Beneath the museum are remains of a Roman building and frescoes; however this area is currently closed due to repairs.

The museum is located in a wonderful palace located between Navona Square and piazza campo dei fiori. It is worth a visit to rest from the crowds while experiencing the spaces of this renaissance aristocratic palace deigned by Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane.

The great rooms inside the Vittoriano host over 500 works of art, old photography, relics and arms witnessing the struggles leading to the Italian unification in the 19th century up to the end of the First World War. Historical documentaries are subtitled in English. Worth of notice is the museum of the Italian flags, and the crypt of the unknown soldier.

The museum is dedicated to the late 19th century artist Pietro Canonica and housed in his former home.
This small but precious museum, located in the heart of a bourgeois villa provides  suggesting late-century atmospheres.
A sculptor of international fame, passionate about music and composer himself, spent a long time at the courts of Europe where the aristocracy commissioned portraits and memorial monuments. He moved to Rome in 1922 and managed to get permission from the municipality to use this building as his own home-studio. In return, the artist commits himself to donate, after death, all the works collected there over the years to become a museum named after him.
