The museum's exhibition is based on the famous watercolour series Roma sparita by Ettore Roesler Franz (Rome 1845 - 1907), which documents the urban transformation of Rome as the capital of Italy.

The banks of the Tiber destroyed with the arrival of the city walls and the characteristic corners of the ghetto or Trastevere that have now disappeared are brought back to life in the artist's easy, fluid narrative played on the tones of elegy and picturesque documentation, memories of an era that is passing.

Because of their delicacy they can only be exhibited in rotation.
