He was liberated a year later by the British Army.Р”Вeciding not to return to an increasingly Soviet Union-dominated Romania, VintilР”С“ Horia lived in Italy (where he became good friends with Giovanni Papini). With Romania's siding with the Allies in August 1944 ( see Romania during World War II), Horia was taken prisoner by the Nazi authorities, and interned in the concentration camps at Karpacz and Maria Pfarr. According to his own account, Horia shared Crainic's rejection of the Iron Guard, and, after Carol was ousted by the latter's National Legionary State government, he was recalled from office. Р”Р„fter Crainic took over as Minister of Propaganda in King Carol II's authoritarian government, he appointed Horia as member of the diplomatic mission to Rome. He contributed to GР“Сћndirea and Porunca Vremii articles praising the Italian fascism of Benito Mussolini ( Miracolul fascist - 'The Fascist Miracle'), as well as pieces attacking authors whom the traditionalist group viewed as decadent (notably, Tudor Arghezi and Eugen Lovinescu).

An associate of the far right thinker Nichifor Crainic, Horia sat on the editorial board of his SfarmР”С“ PiatrР”С“ journal. After graduating from Saint Sava High School in Bucharest, he studied Law, and then Letters at the University of Bucharest, and in parallel at universities in Italy and Austria. Horia was born in Segarcea, a small town in Dolj County, Romania. 3 Books and PhD Thesis consecrated to VintilР”С“ Horia.
