Cinque mesi, tanto durò l'esperimento della Repubblica romana del 1849.
Ormai dimenticata, la memoria è una merce quasi introvabile, salvo nel momento o giorno di una ricorrenza.
Uomini e donne di diversa provenienza territoriale, di distinta estrazione sociale concorsero a tenere viva per centocinquanta giorni la fiaccola della libertà.
Fu emanata una costituzione progressista che ebbe la vita di un'istante ma che fu una feconda traccia per i costituenti del 1947.
I combattimenti contro i francesi furono aspri ma la forza soverchiante del nemico chiamato da Pio IX travolse i giovani repubblicani.
Il museo in Porta San Pancrazio conserva al suo interno il sentimento di quei giorni ed il viandante visitatore ha la consapevolezza che quello fu un momento decisivo che costituì il giusto viatico per i garibaldini che poi concorsero con la loro lotta all'unità d'Italia.

Busts , paintings , engravings and Garibaldi memorabilia , and then models and a very rich multimedia apparatus , the Museum of the Roman Republic and Garibaldi Memory , inside the monumental complex of Porta San Pancrazio , retraces the history, places and characters of that moment fundamental of our Risorgimento which was the Roman Republic of 1849.

Divided into individual sections, the exhibition itinerary winds across the four floors of the building, guiding you to discover the places, the days and the main protagonists of the events of those years of great political ferment; alongside traditional historical-artistic materials there are multimedia and educational insights that introduce the topics of the room giving continuity to the story.

From the European uprisings of 1848 to the liberal phase of Pius IX and the pontiff's escape to Gaeta, from the proclamation of the Roman Republic to its dramatic epilogue in July 1849: room after room the evolution of the events that led to the conclusion of the very harsh clashes is reconstructed which saw the Roman troops oppose the much larger forces of the French army that came to the aid of the Pope.

Yes it's free but the museum is very small. A narrow staircase leading you up three floors, there is an elevator but it limits you to one passenger during Covid. Each floor has a small room on both sides of the stairwell. They have a lot of audio visual stuff but apparently all that is off during Covid. So essentially you see minimal displays, mainly shirts and several uniforms and several revolvers belonging to Garibaldi. I'm sure it would've been more interesting with the audio-visual displays on.
