Davidsohn's opinion; the situation in the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz is very bad; mentions the bad decision of the committee in Berlin to appoint Curt Heinrich Weigelt as director and to pension off [Heinrich] Bodmer; Warburg has decided to travel to Florence and is pleased that the German ambassador Constantin H. K. von Neurath supports Warburg's point of view re the Institute; praises [Ernst] Steinmann, his never ceasing support for Warburg; he is serious in his quest for scholarly excellence; mentions the lecture by Alfred Neumeyer on the Nazarenes in Rome; is pleased that Warburg managed to convince Karl Koetschau to hand over for publication the Ramboux watercolours to Neumeyer and the Bibliotheca Hertziana; is pleased with the results of the Bernini research by Heinrich Brauer and Rudolf Wittkower; complains about Dr. [Willi] Drost, who gives conducted tours, but is tactless; mentions Marchesa Costaguti; raises the vexed question of opening hours; the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence and the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome ought to be open throughout the year to give visiting university teachers the chance to work there in the holidays; sends greetings to Mrs. Elisabeth Glum forwards a postcard of 'Conciliazione', Bing sends greetings |
