In fact, along the way we will see fascinating decorative cycles, such as the frescoes that tell the story of the origins of Rome by the painter Cavalier d'Arpino and we will discover ruins of the most important sanctuary of Ancient Rome, in the very heart of the museum: the Temple of Jupiter Optimal Maximus.
