Abstract

The Treaty of Adrianople (1829) had extremely positive effects for the economical evolution of the Romanian Principalities. Thus, the abolition of the Ottoman monopoly on the foreign commerce of Moldavia and Wallachia and the institution of the freedom of navigation on the Danube attracted to the ports of Galati and Brăila many commercial houses and ship-owners from Western countries. The representatives of the most important Italian pre-unitary states – Sardinia and Sicily – were also among the most important merchants involved in these exchanges. This paper presents the landmarks in the evolution of the Romanian-Italian economic relations via the Danube in the period 1829-1856 and offers certain quantitative details so as to illustrate the growing trend of these exchanges.
