The article focuses on the Attilio Begey Institute of Polish Culture which was created in Turin in 1930, after the death of Attilio Begey in 1928, due to the initiative of Roman Pollak and with Italian and Polish governmental support, as well as with the voluntary help of Italian Polonists. After a few years, the institution became one of the best-performing pro-Polish organizations in Italy. In the article, I point out the Polish and Italian opinions about the activities of this pro-Polish phenomenon in the capital of Piedmont in the first years of its existence.

The goal of the paper is to show the manifestations and forms of polonophileness of literary historian Stanislav Mečiar (1910 – 1971) in the 1930s. The interwar relations between Czechoslovakia and Poland were tense for almost twenty years. Problems were mainly caused by border disputes in Teschen Silesia, Spiš, Orava and Kysuce, different interests in foreign policy, power competition in the Central European area and attitude towards minorities. In this situation, the interest of young Slovak intelligence in Polish culture and science began to increase in the early 1920s, which was supported by Warsaw, in its efforts to undermine the position of Prague. Stanislav Mečiar, an important literary historian and representative of Matica Slovenská, was one of the young polonophillic oriented Slovaks. His journey to the Polish literature and culture began in the early 1930s, when he went through Professor of Jagiellonian University Władysław Semkowicz, a well-known Slovakophile, on his first scholarship in Zakopane and Krakow. His study trips to Poland continued in the following years, resulting in literary-historical texts and translations published in Slovak periodicals. Later, there was more extensive work on it: Tatras in Slovak and Polish poetry, Hviezdoslav and Kasprowicz and last but not least Poetry and Life. Since the mid-1930s Mečiar, as a representative of Matica slovenská, has maintained close contacts with several personalities of the Polish literature and has been intensively involved in the development of Slovak-Polish cultural cooperation. His polonophillic orientation was not disturbed even by the defeat and occupation of Poland, even though he was an exponent of the regime of the war Slovak Republic, a satellite of Nazi Germany. The paper built on archive materials shows development and forms of Stanislav Mečiar polonophileness.
