A rear window. Souvenirs of Bologna in Sigmund Freud’s house

Abstract

In a Freud Museum’s photo, Sigmund Freud is pictured in his house, in Vienna. On the wall behind him there are some reproductions of Italian monuments he had bought during his travels: three of them are from Bologna. Thanks to this picture, along with some postcards Freud writes to his family, it is possible a partial reconstruction of his stay in Bologna. The article proposes some interpretations about the picture itself and its bizarre “title” written on its mount.
