Welcome to "Römische Horizonte - Orizzonti romani", a video podcast series about new music for everyone who’s interested and curious about music. German-Italian soundscapes are presented in collaboration with the Ensemble Horizonte of Detmold.
Contemporary music compositions are always individual and show great stylistic variety. Each piece is, so to speak, its own cosmos in which the listener becomes immersed.
The podcast opens up access to each piece before it is performed by the ensemble, and explains the peculiarities of the playing and compositional style, as well as the context in which the piece was created.
Episode six
Composer: Valerio Sannicandro
Title of the piece: Stills (2016)

Italy's Amnesia over War Guilt. The "Evil Germans" Alibi
Video podcast in English with Filippo Focardi, Full Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Padua, and distinguished scholar of the memory of the Second World War in Italian society. Introduction by Lutz Klinkhammer, ca. 57 min.
As part of the series The Ends of War. Internationale Perspektiven auf den Zweiten Weltkrieg − conceived by the Max Weber Foundation − German Humanities Institutes Abroad.
The Second World War in the Italian perception is connected to two different dates of the end of war, two caesuras which donꞌt correspond to the German memory or that of other countries in Europe and in the World.
Italy ended its war with the entrance of Resistance fighters in the heart of the industrial capitals in Northern Italy on 25 April 1945; but if we look at a state level – we can underline that the hostilities against the Allied powers, the UK and the USA, ended with the Italian surrender in World War II already in September 1943 − earlier than the other allies of the Third Reich.
This complicated political situation and ambivalent perception has had and has still a very strong influence not only on public memory in Italy, but on the development of the character of Italian democracy since 1946 as well.

MedAtlantic. Perspectives on the Past
Genuese Merchant Networks
Documentary film, 20 min.
Based on a research project on the Genoese Merchant Networks in Africa and across the Atlantic Ocean, as part of the international project of the Max Weber Foundation Knowledge Unbound. The period from ca. 1450–1530 is investigated through archival studies. And with it, the trade of enslaved persons, which already began in the Atlantic region in the first decades of the 16th century, comes into view. The film journey through the Mediterranean region and the Atlantic presents new perspectives and assessments on this research topic.
