The collection of the Galleria d’Arte Moderna of Roma Capitale includes over three thousand works, such as paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings, which bear witness of the history of collecting art and culture in Rome at the turn of the nineteenth century and throughout the first half of the twentieth century.

The building

In the heart of the city centre, few meters from the Trinità dei Monti, the building that houses the museum is a former cloistered monastery, dating from the end of the XVI century and close to the church of S. Giuseppe a Capo le Case. The monastery, home of the Discalced Carmelite order, was attested in 1600 in the area known as the “fratte” for its marginal position.

III FLOOR: The Shape of Things

Explore the galleries

Still life, an independent genre distant from themes involving political and social engagement, yet always at the center of attention, recounts a singular history of art through the collection’s masterpieces.

The absence of narrative limits makes still life the preferred theme of the artists of the styles dubbed “Magic Realism” and “Plastic Values,” such as Mario Broglio and Riccardo Francalancia.
