German and Italian history has been inextricably linked ever since Otto I married Adelheid, queen of Italy in 951. Many historians of the 19th century saw the involvement in the south as a key driver in the collapse of central authority and delayed nationhood of Germany, whilst others longed for the “Land where the Citrons bloom”. This ambivalent relationship may go back a 1000 years but still shines through, most recently in the debates over support for Italy during the Sovereign debt Crisis of 2012.
