Hosted in the rooms of Caffè Pedrocchi’s Piano Nobile, the Museum documents facts and protagonists of a century and a half of paduan and national history, from the decline of the Venetian Republic (1797) to the promulgation of the Republican Constitution on 1 January 1948. In the halls of the Museum have been enclosed 150 years of history in which the city of Padua had a major role as absolute protagonist, not only because of the occurrence of events of historic significance, but also for the presence, in different periods, of distinguished personality.
