Description:

The National Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions in Rome was founded by Lamberto Loria (1855–1913), an Italian ethnologist passionate about the need to record the agro-pastoral Italian culture that was disappearing to industrialization and the consequent migration from the countryside towards the cities. In 1911, 50th anniversary of Italian unification, or Risorgimento, Loria organized the Italian Ethnographic Exhibition in Rome. Through the help of a group of coworkers, Loria gathered over three-thousand objects from exhibition of 1911, which today form the principal nucleus of the Museum’s collections.
