The Capitolini Museum are considered as the first museum in the history. The collection started with a donation of four of the few bronze statues that we got from the antiquity by the Pope Sixtus IV in 1471; the she wolf, the Spinario (Boy with Thorn), the Camillus and a bust of the emperor Constantine with hand and globe. These served as symbols of the continuity between the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church, but Pope Sixtus' gift ended this association. Consequently were born the Capitolini Museum.
