Rome house of Goethe ( Casa
di Goethe )
goethe's house in rome
Johann Wolfgang Goethe arrived
in Rome in October 1786 where he lived together
with a friend in the former's apartment until 1788.
His friend was a painter named
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tishbein. Goethe
wrote to his friends in Weimar and described
the location of the apartment as along the Via del
Corso, not far from Piazza del Popolo, at
the "intersection of the Palazzo Rondinini".
In 1997 the new Goethe Museum
was opened in those same rooms inhabited three centuries
ago by the great German poet.
The museum had already been
housed in a different apartment and closed to the public
for over a decade.
The opening of the new museum
was promoted by the ASKLGerman Association of
the Independent Institutes of Culture which proceeded
with the purchase of the original locations, the new
exhibition space boasts, in six hundred square metres,
a permanent collection of original drawings,
watercolours, diaries and letters
written by Goethe himself as well as numerous
period objects of everyday use and areas where exhibitions
are periodically organised in connection with Goethe's
life.
The main themes of the exhibition
are constituted by Goethe's travels in Italy
and the impact they had on him and the complex and well-organised
wealth of his work.
The memorial museum also hosts
a rich programme of cultural initiatives that
range from conferences to concerts, from readings
to screen projections; numerous first editions,
illustrated volumes and an immense stock of critical
works on the life and the work of Goethe are
also available by appointment in the attached specialised
library
