This is an interesting contribution to the history of the Second World War and of Romania in particular. This brings us back to some crucial moments of a conflict that is often looked at as a war between the Western Powers and Germany, but which was also a coalition war. Precisely as part of a coalition, Romania played a role of great importance both on the military level, contributing with its troops to the Eastern Front, as well as on the economic one, thanks to the immense value of its grain and oil. These resources were needed both by Germany and Italy, and only a bilateral approach could have made their availability possible. Beyond the
cumbersome German presence, economic-financial relations between Italy and Romania represented the first necessary step to preserve the specific interests of the two countries and their position as sovereign states, at least as long as this was still objectively possible. (Alessandro Vagnini)

This paper describes the importance of the economic factor in international relations during the Second World War, and, in this sense, Romania and Italy were chosen as main characters. Our aims are to provide a new model for the analysis of the economic relations between the Axis States, to explain how these relations were changed at different times throughout the War and to observe the influence of the economic ties between Romania and Italy on the diplomatic and political fields of cooperation. (Atanasie-Teofil Dumitrache)

Organizarea Legiunii Române în Italia a contribuit la recunoaşterea de către aliaţi şi inamici a drepturilor istorice câştigate de multă vreme de către naţiunea română, prin energica, hotărâta şi permanenta sa luptă dusă în direcţia obţinerii libertăţii şi a făuririi unităţii sale naţionale. Activitatea desfăşurată de către foştii prizonieri de război bucovineni şi transilvăneni aflaţi în Italia, în anii 1915-1919, face parte integrantă din marea bătălie dusă de neamul românesc, de la apariţia sa pe scena istoriei europene şi până la victoria întregirii unităţii sale naţionale, realizată în măreaţa zi de 1 Decembrie 1918.

Documentele pe care le prezentăm în volumul de faţă clarifică majoritatea problemelor privitoare la prizonierii români ajunşi pe teritoriul italian, numărul acestora, organizarea lor, participarea multora dintre aceştia la luptele duse pe frontul stabilit pe cursul râului Piave contra armatelor austroungare. Înrolarea acestora în marea unitate a românilor a fost realizată numai pe baza liberului consimţământ.
