Summary/Abstract: The article shows how two Latin countries, Romania and Italy, developed, in the modern era, a very close bilateral relation, and helps one to another with sympathy in a crucial period of great transformations such as political and national unity. In all this period of struggle for achieving their national goals the most tied up relations were the cultural ones. We also can see that an important civilization such as the Greek one expressed it gratitude for the sacrifices made by the Romanians that for hundreds of years stood tall and defended the western civilizations in front of the ottoman conquerors. In conclusion, the Latin origin of the Romanian people is a heritage that honors them and also obliges them to live up to great expectations, not only from the cultural point of view, but also for the glory that they have to defend.
