ローマ・フィレンツェ・ベネチア・ミラノのレストラン、ホテルなど観光情報を紹介 イタリア観光ブログ

In the very rooms where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) stayed during his journey to Italy (1786-1788) with the painter Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein and other German artists, the Casa di Goethe, Germany's only museum on foreign soil has been opened in 1997.
The permanent exhibition has been conceived in three languages (German, Italian and English) and explains Goethe's journey and his sojourn in Rome.
The collection comprises graphic works, drawings, paintings, autographs, sculputres, installations, books.
The objects are used for the permanent exhibition "Goethe in Italy" and for the temporary exhibits curated by the museum.
The temporary exhibitions are often dedicated to German-Italian subjects and the tradition of the journey to Italy. The Casa has got its own collection.
 With its cultural events in German and Italian such as talks, readings and colloquiums, the Casa di Goethe is considered a place of artistic, scientific and cultural encounter where visitors like to come back.
You can visit our specialized library with its rich selection of first editions, illustrated editions and secondary literature on appointment.
The library and archive of the Deutscher Künstlerverein belongs now to the museum's collections.
The Casa di Goethe belongs to the Association of Independent Cultural Institutes (AsKI e.V.) in Bonn, financed by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
Die Casa di Goethe is the Roman branch of the Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache e.V. (GfdS) (Society for German language).

In Malcesine (VR) on Lake Garda the Casa di Goethe has created the new documentary exhibition .
The standing exhibition is dedicated to Goethe's Italian Journey and his sojourn and working in Rome. The objects belong the the museum's own collection.
The visitor learns about the everyday life in the artist apartment on Via del Corso.
Extracts from Goethe's letters and diaries on display as well as Tischbein's drawings and sketches of a happy and relaxed poet make it clear that Goethe's living situation in Rome was completely different from the one he left behind as a Minister of State in Weimar.
The exhibition of the Casa di Goethe throws a light on Goethe's personal enthusiasm for the fine arts.

The last room is dedicated to the works written or completed in Rome or inspired by the city. Among them, Iphigenia , The Roman Elegies , Tasso, Egmont , Faust , The Roman Carnival and, of course, the Italian Journey .
The Casa di Goethe's reference library houses the collection by editor Richard Dorn and is continuously updated.
The library catalogue contains precious first editions of Goethe's books as well as secondary literature on his life and work, on the tradition of the Italian journey, the history of ideas in Italy and Germany and the cultural relationship between both countries.
You can do research in the library using the library's computer database or consulting our online catalogue from any computer with internet access.
The books can be consulted on appointment (Tuesdays - Fridays, 10.00-18.00).


On display some of his Italian drawings and sketches but also works on antique architecture and sculpture as well as texts on his theory of colours.
Andy Warhol's Goethe portrait (1982) is certainly the exhibit's main eye-catcher.
It was inspired by Tischbein's portrait of Goethe in the Campagna Romana. A copy of this celebrated painting is on display in the room where the original was painted more than 200 years ago - Tischbein's studio.
