Ingeborg Bachmann: Exhibition in the Goethe-Haus Rome inspires literary fans!

The Goethe House in Rome opens an impressive exhibition on the Austrian poet Ingeborg Bachmann with the title "I only exist if I write". This retrospective illuminates the life and work of the central figure of the literature of the 20th century and is supplemented by various places that shaped them, including Klagenfurt, Vienna, Munich, Zurich and Berlin. The exhibition will be shown until August 31 and is a cooperation with the Literaturhaus Munich as well as the Austrian National Library and the Austrian Culture Forum Rome, such as kathpress.at reported.

Bachmann, who was born on June 25, 1926 in Klagenfurt, left important works such as "Malina" and her poetry books "The Studied Time". Her tragic end in 1973 in Rome, when she was the victim of a fire accident, represents another faceted aspect of her life. Her connections to prominent personalities such as Max Frisch and Henry Kissinger are made alive in the exhibition through photographs, documents and more. The exhibition title is a quote from Bachmann, which reflects her deep bond with writing and her philosophy of life.

a place full of history

The Casa di Goethe, the only German museum abroad, is in the heart of Rome, where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe lived between 1786 and 1788. Goethe fulfilled his dream of Italy and not only discovered the country during his "Italian journey", but also found inspiring experiences that shaped his work, such as Casadigoethe.it The Casa di Goethe is not only one museum, but also a cultural meeting point where German and Italian artists come together and develop new ways of friendship.

The exciting event program in Casa not only includes the permanent exhibition on Goethe, but also versatile temporary exhibitions, lectures and readings that enrich Rome's cultural life. Here visitors can walk in Goethe's traces of foot and feel something from the atmosphere of his time.
