Ludwig was not an architect but he was more than a patron. He was a (very wealthy) King, and his actions were very much a studied reenactment of past kings/rulers. Ludwig set out to manifest culture via the arts (as opposed to manifesting wars). That Ludwig was very interested in manifesting architecture is without question.

I don't know what you think my "obvious objections" are, and now you change the subject to today's über-clients.

The original point of this thread was to open up the notion that "Italian" culture is not necessarily homogeneously "Italian."
