The article discusses the life and work of the outstanding scholar and Polish patriot Roman Pollak in the field of Polish-Italian cultural and scientific relations. It focuses on his role in the establishment and operation of the Institute of Polish Culture at the University of Turin. For many years, the Institute functioned as the most important source of information on Polish science and culture in Italy. It emerged as a result of long-standing ties between the Polonophilic milieu in Turin and the idea, present in the 19th and early 20th century, of Poland regaining independence. The most prominent representative of this milieu was Attilio Begey, who was the patron of the Institute. The article also delves into various forms of the Institute’s activity in more than half a century of its existence, and its links with the University of Turin.

Much space was also devoted to the outstanding activist of the association and its long-time president, Lea Mei, thanks to whom the association developed harmonious and undisturbed, despite sometimes unfavorable political and social conditions.

W artykule omówione zostały poglądy Antoniego Bolesława Dobrowolskiego na temat roli oświaty w rozwoju nauki w niepodległej Polsce. Dobrowolski wskazywał zwłaszcza na warunki konieczne do przygotowania odpowiednich kadr badawczych, a także uświadamiał całemu społeczeństwu wagę badań naukowych i koniecznych środków materialnych przeznaczonych na ich finansowanie. Swoje credo w tych kwestiach przedstawił na I Zjeździe Nauki Polskiej, zwołanym w Warszawie w 1920 roku oraz na posiedzeniu Koła Naukoznawczego przy Kasie im. Mianowskiego w roku 1938, a więc na początku i jednocześnie u kresu II Rzeczypospolitej. Mimo kontrowersyjnego charakteru tych wypowiedzi, stanowią one interesujący, istotny fragment polskiej myśli pedagogicznej w II Rzeczypospolitej.
