Abstract
In my work, I will analyse the exhibition Goethe in Italy, which focuses on the influence of the Weimar poet prince’s stay in Rome between 1786 and 1788 on his life and work. My study will examine the motif of the Kavalierstour, which dates back to the peregrinatio academica (peregrination), the purpose of which was to acquire classical education from the early modern period onwards.
The memory institution reflects on this theme in a number of ways, since, in addition to the poet's adventures in Italy, who turned to antiquity, it also captures the significance and role of travel in a contemporary reality influenced by mass tourism through the experience of the present. In the method of the museum, particular emphasis is given to works that reflect the specific perspectives of 21st century Italian and German artists in relation to their approach to Goethe.
This paper asks how the concept of ’the house as museum’ can be used to present the lifeworld in the exhibition area of Casa di Goethe. How does the curatorial concept convey this period of Goethe’s work? What are the emphases along which the collection in the house in Via del Corso, rented with the painter's friend Wilhelm Tischbein, brings Goethe's stay in Rome to life.
Furthermore, in the context of plausible Western European reflections and reminiscences on the rich Mediterranean cultural heritage, I aim to highlight the similarities and differences between the German and the English exhibition logic through the Casa di Goethe and the Keats-Shelley House, which is located near the Spanish Steps. I will examine how their work is presented through with the help of archived documents, letters, personal objects, paintings, prints, drawings and photographs; which are connected to the Eternal City.
In addition, I explore how Germany and England, drawing on the above-mentioned great figures of world literature, seek to position themselves in the diverse museum palette of Rome, while at the same time attempting to convey a positive autostereotype through the use of cultural content in the Mediterranean.
