In 1932 Marcello Piacentini was commissioned with the project for the Magna Grecia Museum; work was repeatedly interrupted until 1956, when it was inaugurated. In the early 1980s, the museum was enriched with the Riace Bronzes and the Wrecks of Porticello, assuming media prominence and a considerable increase in visitors. In 2009, a renovation was promoted in view of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy, thus beginning a profound transformation by the ABDR Architetti Associati studio and the COBAR firm which ended in 2016, the year of the inauguration of the new National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria. During the restoration and expansion in 2010 Alfredo Pirri designed the work permanent 'Piazza'. The volume, with three essays by Marzia Marandola, Marco Burrascano and Ettore Rocca, and with an extensive iconographic apparatus, describes and analyses the recent phase of the Museum's life: its new layout, the refurbishment of the covered courtyard with Alfredo Pirri's intervention and the opening of new spaces, up to its renewed relationship with the city.
