Italy Day

Not everything that looks like "original Italian" actually is. Such images, myths and imaginations from art, literature, philosophy and history suggest to us an Italy that does not stand up to scientific scrutiny.

The fifth Italy Day at the University of Kassel is about "Italy fakes" of very different kinds. It is about invented apostle legends, about the cultural-political program of Italianità, about models of early modern places, about Italianizing arts and crafts and literary Italy phantasms. Scholarly lectures from the history of art and architecture, philosophy, literature and historiography will be offered, to which all interested parties are cordially invited.
