The Mazzaropi Museum was created in 1992 by João Roman Júnior as a way to honor the old friend and Brazilian filmmaker.



The longtime friendship had as its meeting point the serenades in the night of São Luiz do Paraitinga, which was not lacking the composer Elpídio dos Santos, creator of the songs for the Mazzaropi films, and the conductor Fêgo Camargo (father of the presenter of TV Hebe Camargo).



At that time, no one would have imagined that years after Mazzaropi's death, the location of the PAM Filmes studios would be bought by João Roman Júnior where the Mazzaropi ® Hotel is today.



The children of João Roman Júnior continue the work of rescue and dissemination of Mazzaropi's work believing in the importance of preserving the memory of this character of Brazilian cinema.



In the collection there are more than 20,000 items including photos, movies, documents, scenic objects, furniture and equipment that “count” much of the artist's career. The museum is open for public viewing from Tuesday to Sunday from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm and constantly promotes service to students of schools interested in learning more about the history of national cinema.
