Can Romanians understand the Italian language
Yes, Romanians watch Italian language TV. Many Romanians work and live in Italy as both countries are EU countries and this means free movement of labor and capital.
I think for a Romanian to speak the Italian language or the other way around it would take about a month of studying Italian. However, even if you do not study Italian, a Romanian can understand it and communicate.
If they Study Italian they will be speaking it almost like a native after a brief time.
I think the difference between Spanish and Romanian are further linguistically than Italian to either one respectively. There are 700 million Romantic language speakers and of those 4% are Romania.
