Moda in luce 1955-1975. Roma fra glamour e innovazione industriale

Claudia Cardinale wore Irene Galitzine's palazzo pajamas in The Pink Panther, and here the pajamas are on display, not on a screen. They are one of 27 original garments, most of them never shown before, from the years when Rome rivalled Paris as a fashion capital.

Architect Dario Dalla Lana laid the rooms out like an elegant Roman tailor's shop of the 1950s and 60s. Around the clothes hang about 150 photographs, mostly from the Archivio Luce, and five video stations with often unpublished films. Themes include the ateliers and jet-set life, the Snia-Viscosa textile industry, and Palma Bucarelli's mix of fashion and art. The last room is a library of textile samples and rare fashion publications.

Valentino's red Fiesta dress dates from 1959; it has outlasted every outfit you've regretted at a Pigneto party. Entry is the standard museum ticket (€11, free with an MIC card), the museum is closed Mondays, and the last entry is an hour before the 19:00 close.
