Summary/Abstract: The present article endeavours to identify and tackle a corpus of texts written by both major and minor Romanian authors of the 19th century, beginning with the pre-romantic years, the 1848, “Paşoptist”, romanticism and the period immediately after 1848, going through the second half of the century, the age of the plenary affirmation for the “Romanian classics”, and on to the turn of the 20th century and beyond. The object of my analysis is the presence of Italy, as a historical, geographical and cultural space, in the Romanian writers’ field of interest.
