Abstract

Nietzsche went to Rome twice between 1882 and 1883. On the basis of the personal experiences he gained, mainly during his second stay in the city, Nietzsche devoids the great heritage of the Papal Court of the Renaissance of its religious meaning, understanding it instead as the expression of a political and wordly power. The ruins of the pagan Rome impend over it as a destiny. This explains Nietzsche’s disapproval of Luther’s Reformation. Owing to a coarseness ascribed broadly to the men of the North, Luther wasn’t able to understand the political dimension of the Roman Church. Nietzsche actually praises the Roman Church, however, he assigns it a clearly antichristian meaning.
