For fifty years, the Historical Museum of the Liberation, with Porta San Paolo, the Ghetto, and the Mausoleum of the Fosse Ardeatine in Rome, has been one of the symbolic places for the memory of Rome’s Resistance to Nazifascism in its triple meaning: city, national, and European.
The Museum is dedicated to collecting and preserving documentation – written, visual, oral, and material – related to the Resistance, deportation, military internment, massacres, and civilian victims. It hosts and supports initiatives for the affirmation of human and peoples’ rights, freedom and equality, civil and democratic coexistence, peace and cooperation, nonviolence. Visitors and users find a permanent exhibition and educational, documentary, and research assistance services.
It gathers and displays relics, documents, photographs, graphic and pictorial works useful to reconstruct and represent people, aspects, and events of the Nazi occupation of Rome and the armed and non-armed liberation struggle. Furthermore, it promotes studies, research, educational activities, publications, and cultural promotion, also through the use of audiovisual and IT tools.
