Summary/Abstract: The study aims to analyze the problem of the Romanian-Vatican relations in August 1944, the last days of the Antonescu Government, based on a new and unpublished document, dated 14 August 1944, that captures the crisis of the Romanian Legation to the Holy See in a Rome controlled by the Allied forces. Since that document provides interesting and detailed informations about the staff of the Romanian Legation at the Vatican (Vasile Grigorcea, Mircea Moschuna-Sion, Theodor Scorțescu, Teodor Galiță, Mihai Cămărășescu, Nicolae Țimiraș, Emil Panaitescu, Horia Roman, Aloisie Tăutu), especially the position of each member of the mission to the Allied cause, the study has proposed a detailed biographical analysis of the Romanian diplomatic corps accredited to the Pontifical State, aimed to determine the motivation of their actions.
