The Macchina di Santa Rosa or Tower of Santa Rosa in the section dedicated to the religious feasts in the Museum of Folk and Popular Arts named after the ethnologist Lamberto Loria in Rome, Italy. The Tower of Santa Rosa commemorates the town’s patron saint. The Catholic procession featuring a large shoulder-borne processional structure takes place still today and was included by the UNESCO in their world heritage listing. The museum of Folk and Popular Arts is located in the Palace of the Traditions in the EUR-zone of Rome, which was designed as the venue for the World Exhibition in 1942 which never took place however because of WW II. The museum is the most important of its kind in Italy, for both the number and quality of objects in its collections, as well as the research departments it houses and documents the popular arts and traditions from different regions of Italy. The Palace of the Traditions houses the museum since 1956.
