Italy Day
Not everything that looks "originally Italian" actually is. Such images, myths and imaginations from art, literature, philosophy and history suggest an Italy that does not stand up to scientific scrutiny.
The fifth Italy Day at the University of Kassel will focus on "Italy forgeries" of various kinds. It is about invented apostle legends, the cultural-political programme of Italianità, models of early modern places, Italianizing arts and crafts and literary Italian fantasies. Academic lectures on the history of art and architecture, philosophy, literature and history are offered, to which all interested parties are cordially invited.
