The relation between Germany and Italy is a rapport of love and hate.
In the past Germany was the Country where our poor grandfathers immigrated, but at the same time Italians have been the only non-Germans that created mix-families in Deutschland.
Germany is our goal about productivity, organization and seriously. Italy is the German dream for beauty, sympanty, landscapes, culture and weather.
The perfect example are cars, we have Ferrari, red and passion, Mercedes are metal-grey and precision.
And the end German and Italy are the only two really European Countries that love and hate themselves but work together for a common result.
Actually I travel a lot in Germany and I have a lot of friends there and it is really my second Country where I feel good especially because when we speak about “fußball” we always win ;-)
PS: all these photos (36 as a film roll) have been taken with a German Film Camera: a Leica M6 with Leica Summicron Lenses 28mm and 35mm using an Italian brain ;-)
