L’edificio dell’Archivio di Stato di Roma, di cui prima della guerra erano state eseguite solo le fondamenta e le strutture portanti, fu portato a termine negli anni Cinquanta, su iniziativa di Virgilio Testa, commissario straordinario dell’Ente EUR, apportando le modifiche necessarie per adattare il palazzo alle esigenze dell’Istituto.
In the 1990s, there was a rethinking of the interior spaces: on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the ACS, the new premises intended for the public (entrance, study room, library, conference room) were inaugurated, designed by architect Giulio Savio. The environments, enhanced by pictorial and sculptural works by Angelo Cucciarelli, Piero D’Orazio, Carlo Lorenzetti, Paolo Pasticci, have in recent years been further enriched thanks to donations from other contemporary artists, forming a small but significant museum nucleus.
