Tickets for Musei Capitolini
The Capitoline Museums consist of Palazzo di Conservatori and Palazzo Nuovo, bookending the Piazza del Campidoglio. This square was designed by Michelangelo in 1536, but took centuries to complete entirely. The museums hold exhibits of art and history of ancient Rome, particularly its sculptures: for example, the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, the Capitoline Wolf and the Dying Gaul. There are also Renaissance and Baroque paintings, and frescoes. he Capitoline Collection is the oldest public collection in the world. The collection began in 1471, and museum was opened to the public in 1734. T
The famous Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius was moved from its original location, at the centre of the Piazza dei Campidoglio (which now has a copy), to the interior of the museums in 1990. The symbol of the city, the bronze Capitoline Wolf, believed to be an Etruscan work from the 5th century BCE, did not have the twins Romulus and Remus suckling in the original statue, which were added in the 15th century CE.
The approach to the Campidoglio is up the monumental Cordonata, a sloping road with low steps, permitting the passage of horses and donkeys. The staircase is surmounted by the Discuri, statues of Castor and Pollux, the twin half-brothers from Roman and Greek mythology. They shared a mother, Leda, but had different fathers. Castor of Tydareus, the king of Sparta, and Pollux of Zeus, who seduced Leda disguised as a swan.
The Treaties of Rome were signed in 1957, in the Hall of Horatii and Curiati of the Palazzo dei Conservatori. The Treaties of Rome established the European Economic Community, which then were Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, the founding members of the preceding European Coal and Steel Community.
