Resumen

The Bolognesi house is the reflection not only of a typical republican house of the early twentieth century, it also brings to mind one of the most important national heroes, Colonel Francisco Bolognesi Cervantes, and with him the Peruvians who gave their lives in the battle of Arica (1880). For that reason, this research seeks to rescue the future of the house until the moment its use is changed, that is, from being a space that housed families (private use), for one that symbolizes and protects the memory of the Arica fighters (public use), the Morro de Arica Combatants Museum. Likewise, it will be analyzed how the urban development of Lima almost meant the collapse of this historical monument. The projection of Santa Rosa Avenue in the 40s of the last century, which was intended with the widening and prolongation of the passage that bears the same name, to regulate vehicular traffic, it needed to destroy a series of houses that were they stood in his way, among them the house of Bolognesi.
