The Ettore Roesler Franz Room "The Tiber"

The first of the two room dedicated to Ettore Roesler Franz and the famous "Roma sparita (vanished Rome)" series contains seven watercolours, which, through images of the banks of the Tiber, illustrate the radical urban transformations that took pplace in the city immediately after 1870. Four more watercolours show various crafts (cobblers, carpenters, goatherds, and walking salesmen), while the last, Palazzo Scapucci and the Tower known as Torre della Scimmia, recall popular religion and the statue of the Madonna placed on the tower of the Palazzo as a votive offering made to recognise the miraculous rescue of the owner’s son, who had been carried up there by a monkey the family kept as a pet.
