The
museum is housed in the building that was
the seat of the Convent of the barefooted Carmelites
from 1610 until after the Unity of Italy In 1875
it become the property of the City of Rome;
in 1918 the a sanatorium for children was
set up in the building and it was named after
Ettore Marchiafava who was an expert in the
treatment of the malaria; in 1970 it underwent restoration
work and was used as the Museum of Roman Folklore
and Poets, as a detached branch of the Museo
di Roma.
The
building thus housed the exhibits relating
to Roman life and popular culture
between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The
works on display came from the Museo di Palazzo
Braschi and the Gabinetto Comunale delle
Stampe.
Recently
the building was again renovated and was provided
with an exhibition space for temporary displays,
a conference room and music room, and during the
summer concerts and dance shows are
held in the cloister.
The
historical nucleus of the collection of the museum
is composed of
so-called
Roman Scenes, reconstructions of popular
life in the nineteenth-century realized with
mannequins in period costume and inspired by the
works of Bartolomeo Pinelli (1781-1835): the scenes
represent a pharmacy a wine cart, a saltarello a
tavern, a public clerk and pipers.
The
Museum also houses an important collection
of water colors by painter Ettore Roesler Franz
belonging to the collection entitled "Roma sparita"
which has been the property of the City of Rome
since 1883: the paintings represent views of
Rome referring to the areas of
Piazza
Venezia, the Ghetto, Borgo,
Trastevere,
Monti
and the banks of the Tiber which are portrayed without
the signs of the development and profound urban
unrest that was going on during those very years.
The
Museum also has a rich collection of paintings,
prints, and water colors by Ippolito Caffi, Vincenzo
Morani, Salomon Corrodi, Adolphe Roger and Teodor
Aerni: the paintings represent scenes associated
with popular festivals such as Carnival,
the celebration of religious festivities such as
Saints Peter and Paul Day, the patron
saints of the city, and harvest celebrations. Moreover
a section dedicated to dialect poet Trilussa (1871-1950)
is being prepared and will be realized with paintings,
furnishings, drawings, documents and photographs
from his study
