I marmi Torlonia costituisco uno spaccato altamente rappresentativo e privilegiato della storia del collezionismo di antichità in Roma dal XV al XIX secolo. Le sculture in mostra non sono solo insigni esempi di scultura antica (busti, rilievi, statue, sarcofagi ed elementi decorativi), ma anche il riflesso di un processo culturale - gli inizi del collezionismo di antichità e il passaggio dalla collezione al Museo - di fondamentale importanza: un processo in cui Roma e l'Italia hanno avuto un primato incontestabile. Perciò l'esposizione ripercorre il formarsi della raccolta Torlonia, e l'ultima delle sue cinque sezioni si lega in modo eloquente all'adiacente esedra dei bronzi e del Marco Aurelio nei Musei Capitolini, evidenziando il nesso fra gli inizi del collezionismo privato di antichità e il significato della donazione dei bronzi del Laterano al Comune da parte di Sisto IV nel 1471.00Exhibition: Musei Capitolini - Villa Caffarelli, Rome, Italy (04.04.2020 - 10.01.2021).
