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 nineties, the internal spaces were reinterpreted: on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the ACS establishment, new areas intended for the public (entrance, study room, library, conference room) designed by the architect Giulio Savio were inaugurated. The spaces, enhanced by paintings and sculptures by Angelo Cucciarelli, Piero D’Orazio, Carlo Lorenzetti, Paolo Pasticci, have in recent years further enriched thanks to donations from other contemporary artists, forming a small but significant museum core.
