RECEPTAREA OPEREI LUI MIRCEA ELIADE ÎN ITALIA: UN BILANŢ CRITIC
UNDERSTANDING MIRCEA ELIADE’S WORK IN ITALY: A CRITICAL REVIEW

Summary/Abstract: This privileged relationship with the Italian culture will have a major role in disciplining the studies and the researches developed in the last years of high school and faculty. The interests in orientalism and the history of religions, in the history of the Ancient Near Orient and the misteriozofical currents of the classical tradition, which are more and more profound, that could not be sustained from the scientific point of view in the Romanian culture of that time, were stimulated and directed due to the direct and imediate knowledge of the Italian special studies. Eliade remembers in Memorii how he used to read the clasicist Vittorio Macchioro, the sanscritologist and idiologist Carlo Formichi, the well known historian of Christianity Ernesto Buonaiuti, the historian of religions Raffaele Pettazzoni, the latinist Augusto Rostagni and other Italian scholars’ books and magazines that he received from Italy.
