The ties between Italian culture and Polish culture have centuries-long and very rich tradition. Many Cracow buildings prove the presence of Italian masters in this city.The guests from Florence contributed to transmit Italian forms in Polish architecture. Furthermore, In the 19th century the architecture of Italian Renaissance was studied in Italy by many eminent Cracow architects, who later took advantage of those patterns when constructing the public buildings and tenant houses. The exhibition shows the Renaissance architectural heritage in Cracow, through drawings presented by students in the Institute of History of Architecture and Monument Preservation, Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology in 1946 - 1999.
