the Knights of Jean Nevers, son of the Duke of Burgundy,
fought against Turkish soldiers along the Wallachian Prince
Mircea the Elder.
 In the seventeenth century and eighteenth-century FrenchRomanian relations have intensified, especially due to the
numerous traders and French intellectuals who traveled

in 1762, diplomat and writer Claude-Charles de Peysonnel proposed a French
representative in the Romanian Principalities, that goal will be achieved in
1798: opened a consulate general at the time a vice-consulate in Bucharest
and Iasi.
In the nineteenth century, the majority of Romanian students studying in Paris,
getting so full, rich knowledge and modern ideas of social and political renewal.

undoubtedly the architect of this special relationship.

government of General de Gaulle, relations are taking place at embassies.

solidarity to face the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the event that triggered the
fall of communism.
After December 1989, the Franco-Romanian relations have developed
considerably. Exchange of official visits have multiplied, including at the
highest level, which allowed to set up a solid partnership political, economic
and cultural differences between the two countries. Worth emphasizing in
particular the active support of France for integration in the political, economic
and European and Euro-Atlantic security.

Italy

Italy and Romania are not only united Latin roots. The emergence and affirmation of
the two countries on the European political scene involves many interesting similarities.
As in recent years, in Italy, there was a rising economic reasons, a large Romanian
community, we consider necessary to make a brief overview of the relations between
the two sister countries. Unfortunately, ignorance of journalists and politicians
exploited population of the peninsula led to a hostile attitude against Romanians. A
better understanding of the historical ties between Romania and Italy, and we will
hopefully dispel xenophobia artificially created. In the mid -nineteenth century Italian
and Romanian patriots worked together assiduously to national rebirth of their peoples .
Italian and Romanian territories that were disparate the subject of dispute between
the great powers of Europe. Lombardy and Venice were under Austrian occupation , and
the remaining space was divided in Italian history more strictly supervised absolutist
states in Vienna. The Romanians , however , were in place expansionary intersecting
interests of three empires : Austrian , Russian and Ottoman . Dobrogea was occupied
by the Turks , Russian Bessarabia and Bukovina , Transylvania and Banat by the
Austrians. Country Romanian and Moldova , which will be later embryo of modern
Romania , were in a relationship of vassalage to the Ottoman Empire.

Like the Italians , Romanians were included fever Revolution of 1848-1849 . Spring has
arrived and Romanian peoples who wanted breaking the chains of imperialist and creating
a nation-state . The same high feeling motivated and Italian revolution leaders . After
defeating the Romanian Revolution of 1848-1489 , a series of Romanian revolutionaries
fled to Italy. For instance , Nicholas Bălcescu , exponent of the revolution in the
Romanian Country , died in 1852 at Palermo was buried in Italian soil . Giuseppe Mazzini
and Giuseppe Garibaldi sympathized because Romanian people .
Sixth decade of the nineteenth century witnessed the emergence of two national states in
Europe , Italy and Romania . Italian unification was made around Piedmont and had the
spotlight on the great politician Camillo Benso , Count of Cavour . As for Romania , the
unification of Italy was largely dependent on the French emperor Napoleon III and the Little
Napoleon as ironic writer named Victor Hugo . It must be said , that cunning Cavour
tenaciously pursued the interests of his country and even cynicism. For instance , there was
at one time a ' Cavour ' that Romanian and Moldovan State had ceded it to Austria to give
Piedmont Lombardy and Venice. Fortunately, this plan was not heard by the powers.
However , it should be noted that in 1859 Romania emerged through the two Principalities
under the leadership of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza. Italy emerged as a unified state in
1861 , and the capital moved to Rome in 1870. Romania became an independent state in
1878 by participating in the Russo-Turkish War ( 1877-1878 ) . Establishing diplomatic
relations at the Legation , between Rome and Bucharest occurred on December 5, 1879 ,
by recognizing the independence of Romania to Italy and accredited in Bucharest Count
Giuseppe di Vergano Tornielli - Brusati . In 1882 , Italy joined the German- AustroHungarian alliance creating the Triple Alliance . Romania joined in turn by Germany and
Austria -Hungary in 1883 and Italy in 1888 and became part of this alliance. So , until 1915 ,
when Italy entered World War I on the Entente side , between Bucharest and Rome existed
a political-military alliance . We consider it necessary to bring up the fact that the great
exodus that swept Italy in the late nineteenth century and the beginning of the affected
Romania . Many Italian immigrants have arrived in Romania in search of a better life. Until
recently , there was substantial Italian community in Romania . Please note that the Italians
were received in those difficult moments with typical Romanian hospitality without any
ethnic tensions .
Romania and Italy in World War fought on the same side : the Entente .
Between 1916-1918 worked in Romania a French military mission . At
the end of the war saw both countries met national interests. On 1
December 1918 appeared Romania Mare. This date became the
National Day of Romania after the 1989 revolution . In the interwar
period Italian- Romanian ties have weakened in intensity. Dictatorship
of Benito Mussolini made ​the problem of international relations , the two
countries have different views . Romania called for democracy and
supported the League of Nations. Italo- Romanian ties became hostile
during 1935-1936 when Italy invaded Ethiopia. Great Romanian
diplomat Nicolae Titulescu openly condemned this aggression , which
displeased the fascist power of Rome. Therefore, Fascist Italy and Nazi
Germany directed the Second Vienna Arbitration ( August 30, 1940 )
that northwestern Transylvania was ceded to Hungary , although most
of the population was made up of Romanian .
Italian and Romanian armies have experienced the ordeal of war in the
East worn against Bolshevism . After the Second World War were
considered defeated both countries but Italy, although it contributed to
the defeat of Nazi Germany less than Romania , received cobelligerent
status which denied Romania who fought against Nazism from 23
august 1944-8 May 1945 . The monarchy was abolished in both
Romania and Italy . Italians have repudiated monarchy by referendum
while in Romania it was abolished by the new brutal communist power .
In the communist era ties between the two countries have been influenced by the
hostility of the military-political blocs created by the capitalist and the communist
world. After the fall of the communist regime in Romania, in 1989, between Rome
and Bucharest reînflorit good relations. In the last decade many Romanian are left
to work in Italy. Unfortunately, the media that is in a perpetual search for topics
created sensational current racist whom Romanians innocent victims. This situation
reminiscent of fascism and Nazism, have ruthlessly crushed. The democratic
space of the European Union is no place for xenophobia or racism.
