Osanna (MiC): “New Tor Vergata museum accessible to all”

“This museum is proof of how the Pnrr resources have not only been used at the right times, but above all have been used in an optimal way. It is a museum that is completely renewed, finally becoming accessible, which does not only mean breaking down architectural barriers, which is the point from which we must start, but above all offers sensorial and cognitive accessibility”. Massimo Osanna, head of the cultural activities department of the Ministry of Culture, said this while participating in the unveiling, today in Rome, of the restored Torre Vergata and Villa Gentile. Inside the Villa, the local university archaeological museum has been opened to the public.

“This museum – he continued, finally speaks to all the public and is a museum that was born from a rigorous program of research and knowledge, which is expressed in a form accessible to all – he explains – not only to university students, but to anyone who wants to visit this museum and above all learn about the history of the territory. Thanks also to multimedia technologies, the stratification of this place, which was born from a Roman villa and transformed into the tower which, then, gives the place and the university its toponym, becomes much clearer and more legible. But, there is also the whole history of a territory, from the villas, to the medieval population up to the modern and contemporary age: a beautiful context museum, which speaks of an important piece of the territory of Rome”, concluded Osanna.
