Museo del Teatro Romano di Lecce is located in the heart of the Salento city. Attached to the theater, the museum was set up by the Memmo Foundation, in a classroom of the prestigious seventeenth-century building that belonged to the Romano family. The museum, in addition to containing finds from excavations carried out in the first half of the last century that brought the ancient monument to light, houses an exhibition entitled "Rome. The scene of life" created in collaboration with the Archaeological Superintendence of Rome and the Archaeological Superintendency of Puglia, which illustrates the theme of scenography and illusionistic representation in the Roman world. The series of nine theatrical masks from the Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli are of great scenic effect. Finally, thanks to a model, it is possible to see the reconstruction of a large urban area of Lupiae (ancient Lecce) in the Roman imperial age.
