Museo del Teatro Argentina
Where
Largo di Torre Argentina, 52, Roma
The Teatro Argentina, inaugurated in 1732 by the Duke Giuseppe Sforza Cesarini, houses in the attic a small Museum that documents its history, created by Cecilia Pericoli Ridolfini in 1973. The Museum is divided into three sections: the topography, which documents the transformation of the urban area where there is the Theatre; the artistic-architectural, exposing the remains of the ancient structure and previous decorations (fragments ceiling of XVIII century, two murals in Pompeii style, final cardboard and five original studies of curtains by Caesar Fracassini, famous Roman painter), and the documentation of the life of the theater (stage costumes, posters, drawings and portraits, staging).
