Il Museum dedicated to the Roman Republic of 1849 dedicated to this important historical event is located inside Porta San Pancrazio, which, besides being evocative of the events due to its history and location, becomes a hub linked to other places dedicated to the history of the Risorgimento period in Rome (Napoleonic Museum; Museum of Rome in Palazzo Braschi; Central Museum of the Risorgimento, Museum of Rome in Trastevere).
The collection consists of busts, paintings, engravings, and Garibaldian memorabilia. Models and a rich multimedia setup guide the visitor to discover the places, dates, and main protagonists of the events of those years of great political upheaval. Room after room, it is possible to retrace the evolution of the events that led, from the European movements of 1848 and passing through Pius IX’s liberal phase, to the pope’s flight to Gaeta and the proclamation of the Roman Republic until its tragic end in July 1849 at the conclusion of the harsh clashes where the Roman troops opposed the overwhelming forces of the French army.
The visit concludes by showing the continuity of the Garibaldian tradition, which, gloriously partaking in the defense of the Republic, was also a protagonist of much of the 20th century’s history.
