For many, Italy is a place of longing. The exhibition *A Different Journey through Italy* invites visitors to discover the country from a different perspective: as a setting for fascism, war, German occupation, resistance and remembrance. Through historical sites, striking photographs, personal stories and documents, it guides visitors through the history of the Second World War in Italy and shows how its legacy continues to the present day. Through a dialogue between German and Italian remembrance, the exhibition opens up new perspectives on shared history and responsibility. It highlights how important an understanding of each other’s experiences is for a vibrant European remembrance.
