Summary/Abstract: The article reports on the progress of research devoted to the „Italian period“ in the lives of two great Bulgarian artists, Lyubomir Dalchev and Atanas Dalchev, spanning the years 1926 to 1928. It presents observations on the critical reception of this stage in their biographies, the relationship between the cultural geography of Italy and the poetics of their works, and the logic of the translation dialogue facilitated by the poet and translator A. Dalchev. The article also includes visual illustrations outlining the main routes of the two authors‘ creative engagement with Italy. The research establishes the connection between the aesthetic pursuits of the Dalchev brothers and the Italian cultural tradition. It highlights how they not only became familiar with key phenomena and examples from the history of art, cultural studies, and philosophy, but also actively participated in the powerful artistic movements of the 1920s, leaving a lasting mark on the development of the cultural ties between Bulgaria and Italy.
