Hamburg. German enthusiasm for the architecture of the medieval Kingdom of Sicily was manifested in the wake of several large currents of thought and movements of Western culture, such as historicism, nationalism, and orientalism. Architectural historian, Gabriella Cianciolo Cosentino, in her conference on March 15th, 19:00, at the Italian Institute of Culture in Hamburg titled “Sizilien und wir” (Us and Sicily), will talk about how Sicilian medieval architecture was rediscovered, perceived, studied, and copied in 19th and 20th century Germany.
