This study presents the history of bilingual German-Italian lexicography prior to 1900. It provides a detailed analysis of the lexicographical and language didactic works of Francesco Valentini, a Roman scholar working in Berlin. Through his example, it shows how a foundation was created for a modern lexicography of equivalence in the first half of the 19th century.
