Another Italian Journey
The Second World War in Italy: Places, History and Memories
November - April 2027
Goethe's "Italian Journey" inspires a new discovery tour through Italy, accompanied by a German visitor and an Italian woman. Together they explore places associated with the Second World War and resistance, discuss historical backgrounds and reflect on prejudices. The Ferruccio Parri National Institute has selected ten central themes relating to the war in Italy and identified symbolic locations. These diverse stops are supplemented with historical materials and digital insights. The exhibition invites visitors to engage with Italy's wartime history and ask how places of remembrance can become new witnesses when they are asked intelligent questions.
