Archaeology and History in Dialogue

Two experts, two perspectives, one eventful history: historian Carlo Romeo and archaeologist Günther Kaufmann lead a guided tour of the special exhibition UNDER PROPAGANDA: Archaeology between war and peace together, illuminating the time from 1920 to 1972. This guided tour offers surprising insights and fascinating anecdotes about archaeology, politics, and how the past has been used to serve ideological purposes.

In the special exhibition UNDER PROPAGANDA, historian Carlo Romeo and archaeologist Günther Kaufmann come together for an extraordinary journey. Together, they examine the turbulent period between 1920 to 1972, recounting scientific discoveries, political influence, and power struggles behind the scenes. Facts, personal stories, and fascinating anecdotes come together to form a multi-faceted tour through a chapter of South Tyrolean history when archaeology itself became a reflection of its time. 

Afterwards, there will be a chance to chat with the experts while enjoying a light refreshment.

The event is in Italian and is free of charge.
