elena a. bacaloglu , also known as bakaloglu , bacaloglu-densusianu , bacaloglu-densușeanu etc. -lrb- francized `` hélène bacaloglu '' ; december 19 , 1878 -- 1947 or 1949 -rrb- , was a romanian journalist , literary critic , novelist and fascist militant .
her career in letters produced an introduction to the work of maurice maeterlinck -lrb- 1903 -rrb- , several other critical essays , and two novels .
she married and divorced poet radu d. rosetti , and ovid densusianu , the symbolist poet and literary theorist .
bacaloglu lived most of her later life in italy , where she affiliated with the literary and political circles .
her subsequent work included campaigns for pan-latinism and romanian irredentism .
this second career peaked upon the close of world war i , when bacaloglu became involved with italian fascism .
introduced to benito mussolini and benedetto croce , she helped transplant fascism on romanian soil .
her national italo-romanian cultural and economic movement was a minor and heterodox political party , but managed to earn attention with its advocacy of political violence .
this classical romanian fascist movement survived the troubles of 1923 , but disbanded in 1925 , and was entirely eclipsed by the iron guard .
shunned by mussolini , bacaloglu lived her final decades in relative obscurity .
her fascist ideas were taken up by some in her family , including her brother sandi and her son ovid o. densusianu .
