Born in Rome and educated in Italy, Switzerland and England, Gillian is bilingual in Italian, fluent in French and speaks some Spanish. As the Director of the BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair London, Gillian now lives between London and Italy. She is also fascinated with Eastern Europe and has organised and led tours to Macedonia, St. Petersburg, Dresden, Georgia, Bulgaria, Romania, Morocco, and Italy. As well as studying the history, art and architecture, she enjoys exploring the culture, traditions and local life and getting to know the character of a country. Detailed Itinerary This captivating tour of Transylvania is the perfect introduction to one of Romania’s least known and largely unspoiled regions. Enjoy special private visits with an expert local guide, stay in charming well located hotels throughout, and taste a variety of regional dishes and wines from Copse Mare, the most important wine region of Transylvania. This tour focuses on the magnificent scenery and timeless medieval towns and villages including restoration projects by the Mihai Eminescu Trust. The Trust is dedicated to the conservation and regeneration of villages and communities in Transylvania, the Patron of which is HRH Prince Charles, and this tour includes a £50 per person donation to The Trust. Our journey begins in Sibiu, the largest and wealthiest of the seven walled citadels built in the 12th century by German settlers known as Transylvanian Saxons. We visit Alma Vii where the Mihai Eminescu Trust has restored houses and trained local people in traditional building skills. We also visit Biertan, seat of the Bishops of Transylvania, Richis and Copsa Mare, and once centres of wine making. We drive east to the beautifully preserved Medieval town of Sighisoara, with its ancient crooked houses and alleyways dominated by a magnificent fortress, and the ancient German Saxon village of Viscri with its imposing fortified church where we will visit a converted Saxon village home and explore the countryside and traditions largely unchanged by the march of time. On our way to Bucharest we visit the royal palaces of Pelisore and Peles driving through Brasov founded in the 12th century and Sinaia, a country resort frequented by the Romanian aristocracy. Our journey ends in Bucharest, once known as ‘Little Paris’ for its charming fin de siècle buildings and boulevards, where we explore the city and see Ceaucescu’s Parliament Palace. Old Town, Sibiu Alma Vill Day 1: Friday, 16th September London / Bucharest / Sibiu Morning departure from London Heathrow on a British Airways flight to Bucharest Airport. On arrival mid-afternoon, transfer to Sibiu (journey time approximately 3.5 hours), and check in to the boutique Am Ring Hotel, a four-star hotel ideally located in the old city centre and where two nights are spent. Dinner at the hotel. Day 2: Saturday, 17th September Sibiu Morning walking tour of the town including the Upper Town with its Big and Small square, the Old Town Hall Tower, and the Citadel to see the impressive old fortifications. Lunch at a local restaurant. Continue to the Brukenthal Museum, which opened in 1817, and is one of the most charming art galleries in Romania.

Meet project manager, Michaela Türk, who is overseeing the restoration projects, particularly of the fortified church. Continue to the remote village of Richis to visit its beautiful Gothic church, unique in Romania for its stone carvings of “green men”. The last remaining Saxon Transylvanian in the village will guide us in the church. Lunch at a beautiful restored Saxon House owned by Lucy Abel Smith. Continue to Mosna to see an impressive fortified church and the Schuster family organic farm which produces fresh milk, cream cheeses, herbs, fruit and teas, where we will be shown around by Willy Schuster. Continue to Sighisoara, birthplace of Vlad the Impaler and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, and check into the boutique Fronius Residence hotel (or similar), situated in the historical district, close to the Clock Tower and the Sighisoara Citadel, and where three nights are spent. The untouched Old Town is a huddle of ancient crooked houses and alleyways, dominated by the 14th century medieval Clock Tower and the looming battlements and spires of the fortress, which is considered to be ‘the most beautiful inhabited fortress in Europe’ and ‘the most beautiful and complete site of Medieval architecture in Romania’. Dinner at a local restaurant. Day 4: Monday, 19th September Sighisoara, Malancrav, Copsa Mare & Biertan Morning at leisure in Sighisoara. Transfer (at 11.00 hrs) to the village of Malancrev, which has retained more Saxons than any other Saxon village in Transylvania. Visit the Lutheran fortified church to see its rare and impressive 14th and 15th century frescoes and 16th century altarpiece – the oldest entire piece of its sort still in its original location in Transylvania. Visit the two local weavers, Maria Nistor and Elena Neagu, who will show their weaving skills using a loom to make curtains, carpets and traditional embroideries. Maria and Elena made all the embroideries and cloths which adorn Apafi Manor, where we will be having lunch. Apafi Manor, restored by the Mihai Eminescu Trust as a private house, was originally built by the Hungarian princely family, Apafi, probably in the 15th century. Meet Caroline Fernolend (TBC), director of the Mihai Eminescu Trust, who will give a short presentation on the Trust and the house. There will be a short optional horse and cart ride in the village before continuing to the village of Biertan, where its impressive fortified church Saxon church is perched on a hill and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The eastern bastion of the church was not only used for defence but it was also a prison for men and women who wanted a divorce. They were kept in prison with only bread and water until they had changed their minds. It is said that in 300 years only one divorce was ever recorded. Continue to the neighbouring village of Copsa Mare, an unspoiled Saxon village which owned the largest vineyards in the "Tara Vinului" (Wine Land), the most important wine region of Transylvania. The economic growth helped people to initiate the building of a fortified church to compete with the one in Biertan, the most famous one across the region. Visit the church before dinner in a beautifully restored Saxon Transylvanian house. Transfer back to the hotel. Prince Charles’ house,Viscri Alma Vii Day 5: Tuesday 20th September Sighisoara & Viscri Morning walking tour of Sighisoara and visit the Vlad Dracul House where Prince Vlad Dracul, father of Vlad the Impaler, lived in the 15th century, the 17th century stair passage and the massive Church on the hill, which dates from 1345 with beautiful Gothic style decorative sculptures and unique 15th-century wall paintings. Drive south to Viscri village for lunch with Caroline Fernolend. Walking tour of the village, renowned for its traditional Saxon architecture which has been preserved by the few Saxons who remain here.

Visit Prince Charles’ house and the white fortified church. The central church dates back to 1100, and the encircling fortifications of sturdy walls and watch-towers were added around 1525. Return to Sighisoara Dinner at a local restaurant. Day 6: Wednesday, 21st September Sighisoara / Sinaia / Bucharest Morning departure to Bucharest. Drive through the old town of Brasov (also called Kronstadt), at the foot of Mount Tampa, one of the seven cities founded by the Saxons in Transylvania in the 12th century. See Brasov’s famous Council Square, one of the most beautiful squares in Romania, and the Black Church, Brasov’s most important landmark and allegedly the largest church between Vienna and Istanbul. Towering over the Council Square and the old town, it was named the Black Church after a big fire blackened its walls in 1689. Continue to Sinaia, known as ‘The Pearl of the Carpathians’, set amidst superb mountain scenery, and once a resort frequented by the Romanian aristocracy. Visit both Pelisor and Peles Castle, which were built in the late 19th century by King Carol I and are largely decorated by his famous wife Elisabeta who wrote novels under the name of Carmen Sylva. Lunch at a local restaurant in the grounds of the Royal Palaces of Pelisor and Peles. After lunch continue to Bucharest and visit the outside of the Palace of Parliament, built by Ceaucescu, a frightening example of his megalomania and a must to see. A monstrous building, second only in size to the Pentagon, it took 20,000 people, working three shifts a day, five years to complete.

Kiseleff 32 Bucharest Romania , Herastrau Anyone who still thinks that Bucharest is a city of concrete and cement has clearly never been to the city’s lung, the incomparable Herastrau Park. Quite simply, this glorious park, spread over 187 hectares around Herastrau lake is one of the jewels in Bucharest’s crown, which might explain why half of the city chooses to spend its summer Sunday afternoons here. Herastrau was laid out from 1930-36 on what had until then been mainly marshland around the (natural) lake. The Village Museum - which occupies a large part of Herastrau and which is one of its most popular attractions was created at the same time. As early as the late 19th century, however, parts of the lakeshore served as a promenade for Bucharest’s wealthy, and the area surrounding the lake had long since become the most fashionable in the city. Indeed, the residence of Romania’s royal family, the Elisabeta Palace, is found inside Herastrau (although it is closed to the public). The name Herastrau has been in general use since the early 1960s. Herastrau was long neglected in the wake of the Romanian revolution of 1989, as the priorities of a country in transition lie elsewhere. In recent times however, the park has enjoyed much investment and has for a couple of years now once again been able to claim the title of the city’s best.

  • Cultural Studies USES of the THRONE HALL in the FORMER
    SWEDISH JOURNAL OF ROMANIAN STUDIES Cultural studies USES OF THE THRONE HALL IN THE FORMER ROYAL PALACE IN BUCHAREST FROM 1947 TO 2019: A SOCIAL SEMIOTIC PERSPECTIVE Marina-Cristiana ROTARU Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, Romania e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate, from a socio-semiotic perspective, the manner in which the political regimes installed after the forced abdication of King Mihai I (on 30 December 1947) used the Throne Hall in the former royal palace in Bucharest to meet their own needs. In December 1947, Romania was illegally turned from a constitutional monarchy into a popular republic, with the help of the Red Army. Then, the popular republic was transformed into a socialist republic, in fact, a communist dictatorship. In December 1989, the communist regime collapsed and was replaced by a post-communist one, a regime which did not seem willing to leave behind the communist ideological legacy, manifest, in the 1990s, in the brutal repression of anti-government protesters in University Square in Bucharest, or in the Romanian Mineriads of 1990 and 1991. The political regimes that succeeded to power after 1947 deprived the Throne Hall of its monarchic symbolism and used it in ways incongruent with its inherent function, albeit for official purposes. The manner in which the communist regime made use of this particular place is indicative of its intent and success in reinventing traditions or adapting older traditions to its ideological goals, in order to alienate Romanians from their recent past, in disrespect for the nation’s heritage.

  • Spring 98 4/16 Final
    AUSTRIANCENTER STUDIES FOR AUSTRIAN STUDIESNEWSLETTER Vol. 10, No. 2 Spring 1998 WU Vienna, U of Minnesota train executives for global economy by Daniel Pinkerton Since 1992, the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Man- agement (CSOM) and the Vienna Economics University (WU) have had a formal student exchange. By 1999, however, CSOM and WU hope to offer a joint Executive MBA that would require successful candidates to work with faculty from both institutions. Management students with an interest in the emerging Central and East European markets would be clear winners, since the combination of WU, Austria’s premier business school (and one of the best in Europe), with the CSOM, whose rankings continue to rise (currently, it is among the top 25 national business schools), would create a formidable international program. The Executive MBA at WU would become CSOM’s third “offshore” degree granting program, following the Executive Master’s program at Olsztyn University of Agriculture and Technology, Poland, established in 1995, and the Executive MBA program at Warsaw School of Eco- nomics, established in 1996. (Both Polish programs were developed in partnership with the Humphrey Institute’s Center for Nations in Transi- tion; see a related story on that Minnesota institution on p. 3.) The suc- cess of the Warsaw Executive MBA program in particular led CSOM to capitalize on its WU connection and explore the possibility of establish- ing a second offshore program there. After all, WU was Austria’s top business school and Vienna was renowned as the gateway to East Cen- tral Europe. “We knew from the beginning that we wanted to have more than just a simple exchange of students with WU,” said Professor Mahmood Zaidi, CSOM’s Director of International Studies.

  • (1185-1207) Coup D'œil Sur Les Strategie
    MUZEUL NAŢIONAL Vol. XXII 2010 SCURTĂ PRIVIRE ASUPRA STRATEGIILOR ŞI TACTICILOR MILITARE ALE FRAŢILOR ASĂNEŞTI (1185-1207) COUP D’ŒIL SUR LES STRATEGIES ET LES TACTIQUES MILITAIRES DES ASSANIDES (1185-1207) Ginel Lazăr* Résumé La stratégie de défense des forteresses constituait chez les Valaquo- Bulgares une occasion pour exercer et développer certains aspects qui tiennent à la tactique militaire. Il s’agit notamment de se servir des avantages confiés par le terrain, camoufler les objectifs qui présentent un risque stratégique élevé, construire des palissades et entamer des travaux de fortifications pour certaines constructions. Toutes ces actions contribuaient en effet au succès militaire. L’armée valaquo-bulgare, si on se tient exclusivement à la période quand les frères Assan y étaient les comandants, est une armée formée suite à une levé en masse de la population. A ses cotés on rencontre des efficients contingents de Coumans qui pendant le combat se trouvent dispersés sur le champ de bataille et disposés en ordre profond. Au début, les rebelles valaques se sont appuyés sur les forteresses inexpugnables et sur le contrôle des voies d’accès dans les montagnes, ce qui suffisait à leur but initial, celui de libérer les contrés dont ils habitaient et de faire surgir un nouvel état dans les régions montagneuses. Au fur et à mesure que la situation dans les Balkans évolua, les valaques ont vu la nécessité d’une meilleure organisation de leur stratégie militaire, qui soit adéquate aux nouvelles provocations. Ainsi, «les missiens ne dirigent plus leur regards vers les sommets et les montagnes», mais ils essayent d’assurer leur succès à travers d’actions des combats menés dans la plaine et avec l’aide des contingents Coumans, plus expérimentés.
