Summary/Abstract: The time of Romanian language lectureships in the Italian peninsula coincides with the interwar period, that is the moment that marks the most intense phase of the Romanian- Italian mutual relations. Claudiu Isopescu, the creator of the Romanian lectureship in Rome in 1926, was an important protagonist in the history of Italian-Romanian cultural exchanges of the 20th century. Among his fundamental initiatives that he developed between 1926-1956, which aimed at promoting Romanian culture in Italy, are worth remembering: the Romanian language library founded at the department of La Sapienza, the translations of Romanian works into Italian and his research activity. With his entire scientific and cultural activity, the Bukovinian professor contributed to the knowledge and spiritual rapprochement of the two peoples who have preserved many affinities.
