Through an accurate investigation of unedited archival documents kept at the Capitoline Archive in Rome, in the folder Presidenze e Deputazioni, this essay intends to reconstruct a page in the history of the Capitoline Museums that has been overlooked by scholars: that is, the one related to the appointment of the architect and archaeologist Luigi Canina as president of the museum in 1855-1856. Analysis of circulars, reports and accounts produced in these years allows the author to present a perspective on the new museum outfittings proposed by Canina, as well as the opening calendars, the study permits and the work uniforms he adopted, including also the controversies among the museum staff that he resolved. Lastly, a brief consideration will involve the director Alessandro Tofanelli, whose role in the museum development in the mid-18th century is completely ignored at the state-of-the-art.
