The birth of the Capitoline Museums dates back to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV gave the Roman people a group of bronze statues preserved up to then in the Lateran, which formed the initial nucleus of the collection. The collections were subsequently increased by the popes with works from the excavations of Rome, from the Vatican or purchased specifically for the museum, such as the Albani collection. The archaeological collections were considerably enriched at the end of the nineteenth century with the findings of the excavations for the construction of entire districts of the city, which became the capital of Italy.
