Da fifty years the Historical Museum of the Liberation, with Porta San Paolo, the Ghetto, and the Mausoleum of the Fosse Ardeatine in Rome, constitutes one of the symbolic places for the memory of the Resistance of Rome to Nazifascism in its threefold city, national and European significance.
The Museum is engaged in the collection and preservation of documentation – written, visual, oral, and material – relating 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, and nonviolence. Visitors and users find a permanent exhibition and didactic, documentary, and research assistance services.
It collects 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 liberation struggle, armed and unarmed. Furthermore, it promotes studies, research, educational activities, editorial and cultural promotion, also through the use of audiovisual and IT tools.
