I've always detected an interesting attraction and affinity held between Italy and Germany: two great artistic societies who found ways to transfer their craftsmanship into modern industrial design. It's a strange cultural partnership indeed but one that is defined and bound by history. I'll let Man of Roma take it from here with two posts: Pleasure in Craft. The Germans and Roman Limes. Between Two Worlds.
Because Italy is more than a geographic expression..

Thanks for linking to my two posts. Of course this attraction has components of repulsion as well. This often happens between neighbours.
