PREZENŢE TEATRALE ITALIENE PE SCENELE BUCUREŞTENE (SECOLELE XIX−XX)
ITALIAN DRAMA APPEARANCES ON THE STAGES OF BUCHAREST (NINETEENTH−TWENTIETH CENTURIES)

Summary/Abstract: Small, but well organized, the Italian community from Bucharest contributed culturally, as well, to the growth of modern Romania because of its role of catalyst of creative energies. The means through which they acted in the Romanian society were educational, literary, theatrical and artistic and the element of unity was the one of common identity originating from Latinity. The involvement of Italians in the cultural life was under the form of many tours of famous actors that graced the great stages of the world: Adelaida Ristori, Ernesto Rossi, Ermete Novelli and Tommaso Salvini, who put Bucharest on the cultural map of the great capitals of Europe. The presence of these great Italian artists stimulated the growth of the theatrical life and enabled the development a Great Theatre, as the National Theatre was called, whose repertoire included translations from the French and German dramaturgy while the Italian one was to be promoted at the highest forms of manifestation at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
