The permanent collection of the Museo di Roma in Trastevere exhibits the salient aspects of popular life in Rome during the end of the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries, filtered through the tastes and convictions of the artists and folklorists who represented it. The major themes present in the collection are the costumes, the popular dances, the secular and religious festivals and the crafts.

The Museum of Rome in Trastevere is situated in Piazza Sant’Egidio, in a historic building. E ven the Piazza takes its name from the nunnery, which included the small church of Saint Egidio.
The earliest nucleus of the convent was founded in 1601 at the church of Saint Lorenzo on the Janiculum, which was later restored and dedicated to Saint Egidio, as a home for the religious order of Carmelite nuns.
