The excavations of Paul III between 1545-47 uncovered many large statues, made of marble and bronze, as well as innumerable architectural fragments, lamps, intaglios, and cameos. The quantity of materials was so great that a museum was created to house the collection, known as the "Museo Farnese" (relocated to the "Museo Borbonico" in the late 18th century). The pope granted the area to the Roman Seminary of the Jesuits. It was used as a playground for children. Philip Neri may have brought children from his oratory here – he is believed to have commissioned the fresco "Madonna supported by an angel" still located in the "natatio".
