Exposition of Bavaria 2010 „Bavaria-Italy“
From 21.05. to 10.10.2010
Maximilian Museum in Augsburg
Bavarian textile and industrial Museum (named TIM)
The relations between Augsburg and Italy are extremely various: Romans established Augusta Vindelicum, the glamorous capital of Rhaetia. The trade with Italy enriched Augsburg since the 14th century. In Venice Jakob Fugger learned business dealings and the double entry accounting, supported popes in Rome, some years later his successors financed the Medici. The chapel of the Fugger family represented the first Renaissance building of Germany in 1509, the ladies courtyard of the Fugger houses was the first secular building of German Renaissance. Three monumental fountains in style of Italian Mannerism and the Renaissance town-hall
form the “most northern town of Italy”…
The Maximilian Museum in Augsburg shows in the exposition “artificial Italy and German conventions” the influence of the Italian art on the Southern German artists for example in the works of Titian and Dürer.
The Bavarian textile and industrial Museum documents the Bavarian-Italian relations of the 19th century until today: from the early voyagers to Italian guest-workers in Bavaria until the current “imports” like Pizza, vogue and Latte macchiato.
