THE CHURCH WITH THE MOON - ORADEA - THE BIHOR COUNTY - ROMANIA

It was built with an important contribution of the Aromanian / Vlach community led by Mihai Püspöki and Mihai Kristoff.

Two of the peculiarities that give the Moon Church in Oradea the portrait in Horea's medal, placed in the key of the vault arch between the nave and the altar apse, a picture that crowns the iconostasis and the mechanism made by Georg Rueppe in 1793, in the tower of the cathedral. This is the ingenious mechanism that, through its half-golden half, black, indicates the lunar phases.

In the temple of the iconostasis was a painting with the image of Horea, one of the leaders of the rebellion of 1784, considered by many historians to be the only authentic reproduction of his physiognomy.

ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY (from The Hill) - CLUJ-NAPOCA - CLUJ COUNTY - ROMANIA

In 1788, the Aromanian / Vlachs merchants Ioan Constantin and Ienache Mavrodin addressed the city magistrate (mayor) on behalf of all Orthodox in the city, the request to approve the construction of a church. On March 31, 1789, the Royal Commissioner, Count Adam Teleki, spoke to the city council requesting that the request be resolved in accordance with the edict of tolerance.

On April 6, 1789, the city council rejected the request, arguing that the edicts provide for the approval of the construction of a church only to communities that have at least 100 families of believers.

By a new request addressed to the Aulice Chancellery in Vienna (the Transylvania section of the Imperial Chancellery), the Orthodox community asked for the approval of the construction of a church outside the city walls, where the magistrate's competence was no longer extended.

On February 14, 1780 Aulice Chancellery in Vienna approved the construction and issued the permit.

The protest formulated by the town council on August 5, 1790, criticizing the authorization as an act aimed at strengthening the Romanian community, was no longer effective, so that the Orthodox merchants purchased the building necessary for building the church just a short distance from the walls of the city of Cluj.

The construction works started in 1795 and lasted until 1796.

The first liturgy was celebrated in the church on the Christmas day of 1796 by the priest Ilie Fulea, who arrived in Cluj in 1792.

CAPSA HOUSE - BUCHAREST - ROMANIA

The history of the Capsa House is united with the destiny of a Aromanian / Vlach family, the descendant of Dumitru Capsa. His arrival on our lands was linked to one of the most dramatic episodes of Balkan history: the destruction of the city of Moscopole, the splendid capital of the Aromanians, the race on the face of the earth in 1788 by Ottoman artillery. The survivors of that genocide were scattered in the four seasons, and many of them came to the Romanian lands. By 1782, Dumitru Capsa first fled to Brasov, where he married Zamfira. Then he moved to Bucharest. He had four boys, and Constantine, the family's only one, took over his father's job: the coyote. Becoming a true artist, "Slim Coyote on the Market of the Bucuresters", Constantin married a girl from Ploiesti, with whom he then had 12 children. Four of them, Vasile, Anton, Constantine and Grigore, are the ones who, in the middle of the sec.

After the death of Aristia, the Town Hall established the "Alexandru and Aristia Aman" Foundation, transforming the spaces of the Aman family apartments into museum and library halls (1906-1908).

The Aman Foundation functioned until 1949 when it was abolished by the communist regime. Only Kogalniceanu Street is the library. The valuable paintings, as well as the handicrafts that were part of the Aman museum collection, were transferred to the heritage of the museums in Craiova.

BELLU(O) CEMETERY MUSEUM - BUCHAREST - ROMANIA

Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Bucharest was burying the dead in the courtyards of the churches.

There were some cemeteries outside the city, where the poor, ordinary people, or the dead were buried after the plagues.

In order to keep pace with the modern world, the Bucharest lawmakers abolished these cemeteries and decided in 1831 the "Law for burials outside the city". In 1852 a town council committee discussed the creation of other cemeteries outside Bucharest.

One of them was located on the Serban-Voda Street, where a large orange garden belonged to Barbu Bellu (1825- 1900), the Minister of Religious Affairs and Justice.

The land of about 15 hectares was donated by Bellu City Council, which on November 26, 1852, decided to start the cemetery development works.

The architect Alexandru Orăscu draws up the plans for the chapel to be erected on the site of a former church of Bellu the Elder (1799-1853), the father of the baron.

The interior was made by painter Constantin Lecca. In the autumn of 1855, the land was first set up, the first buried in 1856, and in September 1858 the cemetery began to operate legally.

In 1859, the government switched to law enforcement by moving the inhabited from the city to this new cemetery.

C. Rosetti, the initiator of the Bellu Cemetery, is the first concessionaire we can find in the Cemetery Archive. In November 1859 he buys a place here for his daughter, Elena.

He was followed by the writer Caesar Bolliac who, in 1860, buried his wife here, Aristiţa, the daughter of boyar Izvoranu.

From 1862 Bellu Cemetery passes under the wing of Bucharest Municipality, so when the old chapel falls down, Mayor Pache Protopopescu puts the foundation stone to the new chapel that will be built in the style of the Karlsbad cathedral.

It will be painted at first by Mihail Popp, and later repaired by Dimitrie Belisarie and Arthur Verona.

The Bellu Cemetery was 17 hectares in 1859 and currently measures 28 hectares.]

In the Bellu Cemetery there is also the Artist Alley, the perimeter where the artists are buried.

THE ORTHODOX CHURCH SAINT NICHOLAS - SÂNPETRU - BRAȘOV COUNTY - ROMANIA

The main founders are merchants of Brasov headed by Master Hagi Şandru wife Paraskeva, as evidenced by the inscription.

In the archives of the State of Brasov, the documents prove that the 33 families of Romanians demand in 1762 a priest for the already existing wooden church, priest invested in 1779. In 1780 the Romanian Orthodox believers ask the authorities to be allowed to raise a a church of stone and brick. In 1781 the building works of the church ending in 1784 began. The bell tower was later built in 1801, due to the fact that Orthodox churches were not to be seen from a distance or close.

Today, this church is hardly accessible to sight as it is on the outskirts of the village in a lower area, surrounded by houses. Whoever goes through Sânpetru to Brasov can not see the church even though it is close to the road.

The old church of Sânpetru holds a dated 1748 challet whose origin is unknown. The parish also has several cult books, most of which date back to the eighteenth century, among which we mention an "Apostle" from 1704 printed in Buzau, a "Ceaslov" from 1765, a "Pentecostalion" from 1765, printed at Râmnic, a "Cazanie" from 1768, printed in Bucharest, a "Triod" from 1781, a Bible from 1856, printed in Sibiu, and the "December Moon" printed in Buda.

HAGI ȘANDRU was AROMANIAN / VLACH.

THE HOUSE OF ROMANIAN PREPARANDIA - ARAD - ARAD CONTY - ROMANIA

PREPARANDIA ROMÂNĂ was the first Romanian pedagogical school, founded in Arad in 1812.

The house where the courses were held was owned by Sava Arsici, the captain of the city. After a few years and after the good results of the students at the exams, Sava Arsici decides to donate the building where Dimitrie Tichindeal's courses were held.

SAVA ARSICI was AROMANIAN / VLACH.

Sava Arsici, a merchant and Aromanian tenant, became at the beginning of the nineteenth century a city captain (mayor) of Arad, at the time when Banat was in possession of the Habsburg imperial dynasty.

On November 3/15, 1812, S.V. and his wife Eustahia offers the ground floor of their home (the Capello Headhouse at the end of the 18th century - the current 13th Prepandeza street) for 15 months as the headquarters of Prepandeia - the first Romanian pedagogical school.

The insidious condition of the location determines the temporary move of the school into "the small, small, small houses that were taken from the Neamt in the arrangement by Sava Arsici in March 1813".

This second location was given by the widow Eustahia Arsici in the summer of 1824 as the "Fundamental House" to promote the "Wallachian culture".

THE "SPRING OF HEALING" CHURCH (””GREEK CHURCH””) - CALAFAT- OLT COUNTY - ROMANIA

The "Spring of Healing" Church in Calafat, also known as the "Greek Church", was built between 1864 and 1874.

The land was donated by its founder, Hagi Panait Theodoru, located at the highest point of the city at a height of over 70 meters above the Danube, with a beautiful view of the Danube and Vidin. Between 1864 and 1874, on Calafat's highest hill at an altitude of over 70 meters above the Danube, the Greek community in the city built a monumental church for the nearly 200 people who formed it.

They were called Greeks, because they had come here from the Pindus, Epirus, and Macedonia, but in reality they were mostly Aromanians, and they were understood by their faith and by faith with their native fellow-men.

At their head was Hagi Panait Theodoru, a wise, taught man, farmer and great knight of Rhodes, a nobility equivalent to that of the Knights of Malta.

He was the founder of the "Greek Church" in Calafat, whom he appointed as the "Spring of Healing", and on his property were built the other buildings, including the school, where he teaches both in Greek and in Romanian.

The sanctuary is triconic in shape, with solid walls over one meter in thickness, has three towers, two on the narthex and one on the nave, which rests on solid square pillars of one meter.

The interior of the church is endowed with four genuine Murano crystal polycandrails.

In the nave, on the right side, in sight, there is a great fine epitaph, made by stitching in gold and silver thread bas- relief, representing the scene of Christ's putting into the tomb.

During the War of Independence, the church suffered serious damage, being hit by enemy shells, which completely destroyed the tower.

This is evidenced by the report drawn up by the Commander of the City Artillery, which states that: "17 strikes were directed against the Greek Church, where the observer officer and the telegraph station were located; a burglary hit the door of the church, went inside, exploded and crushed the ornaments; another hit the roof, a third hit the tower. As a result, the officer could no longer make his observations because of the noise and the cloud of dust.

A fourth roundabout penetrates the window in front of the church breaking the grilles, bursting inside blowing and hitting several inward parts, a fifth hitting in the middle tower passing through the windows they take out of the masonry and finally the sixth falls inside the church, breaking the conductive wires and appliances.

From now on, both the officer and the genius telegraphists were forced to leave the church and to shelter them back and forth beyond a shore of land. "

Over time, the sanctuary was restored by the contribution of the faithful and local officials, being reprinted with the glimpse of another time.

ATHANASIEVICI - BEJAN PALACE - LUGOJ - TIMIȘ COUNTY - ROMANIA

After the fall of Moscopole (1788), a number of AROMANIANS/VLACHS merchants (Macedonians), including the ascendants of the Athanasievic family, settled in Banat, the prosperous financial situation allowing them to buy some properties, obtain nobility titles and engage in life cultural, political and religious life, through which they contributed to the process of emancipation of the Romanian population of Banat.

Among these families of Aroman merchants were also the brothers Constantin and Naum Popovici (nicknamed Mocioni), the owners of the Foeni domain, Pavel Ioanovici Caliva and his son Gheorghe Ioanovici, with merits on the church and political domain (with domains at Duleu and Valea Mare, in the county of Caras), the brothers Chiril and Cristofor Naco (the owners of the Sânnicolau Mare domain, where they saved the famous thesaurus), Christmas- Karácsony (his descendants later acquire the domains Banloc and Partos), the brothers Athanasie and Constantin Grabovschi, the uncles of Metropolitan Andrei Şaguna, and others.

One of the remarkable personalities of the Lugojen public life at the end of the 18th century was Constantin Athanasievici, the Greek-Oriental protopresbier of Lugoj between 1779 and 1802, deputy at the Ilir Congress, judge of the Judicial Board in Caraş County, the descendant of some At h) Anastasia Tiţu, a Macedonian merchant ennobled by purchasing the Valeapai domain.

In 1804, C. Athanasievich was ennobled, through a decree signed by Emperor Francis II, for "the faith and the faithful services ... which he showed on any occasion even more prominent in the twenty of his zealous pastoralism not only as a presbyter, but also by the fact that trivial schools were set up by his care, his zeal and his unceasing co-operation. "

In the text of the decree, there was a remarkable episode of bravery in 1797 when, through his diligence, "with the unpardonable despair of his life and with extraordinary dexterity", the prototype lugujan released two county magistrates who had been kidnapped by a a bunch of thieves.

According to the custom, the holy inhabitant of Caraş county, received in "The Fog and the true number of the nobles of old and indisputable origin of our Hungarian Kingdom and the annexed parties [...] to enjoy those graces, honors, concessions, privileges, rights, prerogatives and exemptions ", was assigned a noble blazon and imperial seal.

Constantin Athanasievici was also a fervent supporter of the Lujian education. The first attempts to institutionalize the Lugujan education took place in 1718, when the Roman Catholic Bishop of Timisoara sent two minor monks to Lugoj. The Öffentliches Gymnasium, constituted as a type of medieval school (Latin grammar school), had four grammar classes at the beginning, then, since 1842, it became a full secondary school with 6 grades.

On September 30, 1822, at the suggestion of Baron Venkheim, on the proposal of Baron Venkheim, a school of Hungarian teaching was established, and on December 10, 1823, Basil Petrovici, vice-commissioner of Caraş county, proposed the establishment of a Latin Grammar School for Young Students lugojeni, the "decision" being obtained by the persistence of district july, the director of the district schools, Ioan Mihutiu, and the protopop Athanasievici.

Stephen Athanasievici, one of his sons, became an archpriest of Lugoj between 1802 and 1847 (after an internship at Caransebes), he was co-signator of the Maiestatic Appeal in 1807, together with the priests Dimitrie Ţichindeal (Becicherecu Mic), Petre Popovici (Bocsa) and George Petrovici, the Belindi deacon, the initiator of the petition submitted to Emperor Francis II.

CHURCH OF THE HOLY THREE HIERARCHS - PECICA - ARAD COUNTY - ROMANIA

In 1774, the orthodox church of brick was built, dedicated to the Three Hierarchs, where it is still today. It served both Romanian believers and Serbian and AROMANIAN/VLACH (Greek) believers.

THE CHURCH DALLES - BUCȘANI - DÂMBOVIȚA COUNTY - ROMANIA

ELENA DALLES (ATHANASESCU) was AROMANIAN/VLACH too.

””The Dalles were among the richest families in the Old Kingdom in the nineteenth century.

Mindness and wealth could not resist the tragic destiny that will follow the whole family.

History of Dalles in Romania begins with John G. Dalles (1816-1886), a merchant of Greek (AROMANIAN/VLACH) origin.

Even young, he deals with grain business, becoming a well-known merchant in the field, as well as the owner of several houses in Bucharest, located in the most commercially sought after trade.

His business associates include Hagi (Iane) Anastasescu, a large merchant from Giurgiu of Macedonian (AROMANIAN/VLACH) origin.

This is one of the founders of the church in Hăbeni, the estate which will subsequently be in the possession of John G. Dalles.

The links between Iane Anastasescu and John G. Dalles will not only be related to business, they will become relatives through the marriage of John G. Dalles with his daughter Elena Anastasescu (1849-1921).

In 1862 his prestige increased by the acquisition of the prince Cleopatra Trubetzkoi of a vastedalles townhall, the town of Buşani.

Here, John G. Dalles had a splendid neoclassical mansion that would become the home of the family, located in the middle of a park stretching over an area of 22 hectares.

At the Bucşani mansion, the first child of the Dalles George family will be born in 1871. But only two years after his birth, George dies leaving the mist of death in the souls of his parents.

Across the wealthy Dalles family, the curse of death gradually descends into the whole family.

In 1875, there was a ray of light and joy in the family when Dora Dalles was born, and in 1879 the family enjoyed the birth of a boy named John Dalles.

But the tragedy will continue in the Dalles on January 4, 1886, when John G. Dalles passes away by leaving his children in the care of his wife.

Suffering does not stop there, because on November 7, 1892, Dora Dalles dies at age 17 by only.

The tragic destiny of the Dalles is following its implacable course, and on December 22, 1914, on Christmas Eve, the last Dalles family dies in the house of his parents in Bucharest, located on I. C. Brătianu Street at no. 12. John Dalles dies absurdly by Dalac (an infection caused by a chimney).

It vanishes near events anticipating the beginning of the struggle for national reunification, the First World War.

Elena Dalles remains alone to despise her pain by paying for the sins of her people and the world.

Waiting for the end of this cruel fate, Elena Dalles made her will on May 16, 1918, written by lawyer Teodor Seimeanu in the house in Bucharest, I.C. Bratianu Street. 12, naming as his universal nephew his sister, Mihail M. Capuțineanu.

In memory of her dear ones, Elena Dalles makes a great act of charity to Romanian culture, leaving the will of the Romanian Academy for the foundation of the Ioan I. Dalles Foundation, which will become an important center of culture and art, which today houses the University The Dalles.

After several trials and delays, on May 29, 1932, the official opening of the cultural establishment called the Ioan I. Dalles Foundation took place.

At the inauguration of this memorable culture, the Patriarch of Romania, Miron Cristea, the Mayor of the capital Dem Dobrescu, the members of the Romanian Academy with their families, Alexandru Tzigara-Samurcaş, Prof. Dr. Şt. Minovici, Frederick Storck, Prof. Al. mironescu; from the Dalles family, Maria Gh. Teohari, sister-in-law, Miuta Teohari, the great-granddaughter of Elena Dalles.

Very soon after the opening, the Dalles Hall, as it is most often called, becomes the most important institution of education and culture in Bucharest. Elena Dalles could sleep quietly in silence: if her destiny had kidnapped her children and swamped her soul, she had succeeded in this monument and heritage to defeat forgetfulness and celebrate life by what she had most beautiful: education and culture.””

HLINCEA MONASTERY - CIUREA - IAȘI COUNTY - ROMANIA

The Hlincea Monastery was built on the border of the city of Iasi, having as its founders the prince Maria, the daughter of Petru Şchiopul, the ruler of Moldavia (1574-1579 and 1582-1591) and her husband Zottu Tzigara, a former back and great visitor of Greek (AROMANIAN/VLACH) origin , in the city of Ianina. In 1574, the monastery was worshiped by the founders as a metoch of Dionysius Monastery at Mount Athos. Until the reign of Vasile Lupu (1634-1653), this monastery was mentioned in documents as the "Zotei Monastery of Hlincea" or the monastery "called Zota at Hlincea".

On 8 September 1591, Prince Petru Şchiopul left the country of Moldova, together with Mrs. Maria, her daughter and her husband Zottu Tzigara.

ZAMFIRA MONASTERY - LIPĂNEȘTI - PRAHOVA COUNTY - ROMANIA

According to the writings of the old church, its construction probably began in the second reign of Nicolae Mavrocordat between 1721-1730 at the initiative of Zamfirei Apostoli, the widow of the rich merchant Manoil (Mano) Apostoli. At Zamfire's death the task of finishing the work lies with Smaranda, the daughter of aged Ion Bălăceanu and the niece of the prince Şerban Cantacuzino, a widow at that time. On July 29, 1743, the church was finished and given service. Originally, its role, as it results from the writing, was either the church of myrrh of the cluster of cloths serving on the Manoiles' estates, or even their courtyard church, because Professor Victor Bratulescu found out that in the vicinity of the church about 60m to the north, the manor of the founders, now completely disappeared.

MANO(U) APOSTOLI was AROMANIAN/VLACH.

ASSAN MILL - BUCHAREST - ROMANIA

The mill was founded by merchants George Assan (1821-1866) and Ion Martinovici (1820-1882).

The construction of Assan Mill was built in 1853 on a plot of land purchased by Gheorghe (George) Assan of the Epitropia Ghica, the property then expanding by acquiring land from the surrounding residents. The mill was built at a time when there was not even one brick factory in Bucharest. As a matter of fact, the first brick factory was founded only in 1855 by sergeant Ioan Filipescu, somewhere in the Elefterie area. Milling machines were brought from Vienna from Siegel to their transport on the Danube and then on Giurgiu-Bucharest for almost a month. In 1865 George Assan separated from his associate and remained the sole owner of the factory. After his death, in 1866, the company's management remained with his wife, Alexandrina, who then left it in 1884 to his two sons, Basile and Gheorghe, who had studied abroad. In 1894, a new section of lakes and colors was set up by them, and the mill washes at that time seven wheat wagons in 24 hours. In 1895 there were still nine new steam mills outside Assan's mill.

The actual construction was carried out using German builders and craftsmen. At that time, the construction of a factory chimney was stopped when it reached the height of 10 meters, being considered too large. After paying compensation to the city hall, the basket was lifted to the projected height of 26 meters. In commercial registers, Assan's Mill was registered as "Assan's Factory" for the industry and trade of flour, vegetable oils, lakes, paints and other similar products. "Over time, Obor's steam mill was baptized by the inhabitants of Bucharest in various forms: Assan's Mill, Roller Mill, Fire Mill or Assan's Ship. [2] In 1903 it was celebrated half a century from its foundation and on this occasion a few more buildings, and the main building at the top of the tower was a large watch with a large bronze figures, large and visible from below, between 1853 and 1903. Assan's clock, which worked exactly, was the tens of years of measuring the time for all the people in Obor-Colentina.In 1903 a new grain silo was built, which at that time was the tallest building in Bucharest - 41 meters high, 28 silos (stores i) and two floors below them with the capacity to store 700 wagons. The material used was wood (for the preservation of the grain) isolated in a concrete packing on the bottom and masonry on the sides (Sinaia and Azuga boards on the sides and nailed - 50 plank wagons and a wagon nails), and the roof was iron. After 1903, the Assan mill was supplied with electricity, and in June 1930 it was transformed into anonymous Joint-Stock Company under the name of "Factory Assan", which included four different industries: grinding cereals, vegetable oils, lakes and colors, soaps and putty. Before the mill was transformed into an anonymous society, the Assan brothers had 33 workers, and in January 1946, after the war, the factory had 400 officials and workers. The factory has been constantly up to date with the latest equipment and technologies, the Assan brothers being interested in everything new and better in the industrial field, making numerous trips all over the world for this purpose.

It is currently in an advanced stage of degradation. Assan's mill is classified in the records of the Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs as a historical monument of national value and is part of the industrial heritage.

THE ASSAN FAMILY had AROMANIAN / VLACH origins.

DUDEȘTI - CIOPLEA MANSION (IPSILANTI”S CIOPLEA FORTRESS) - BUCHAREST - ROMANIA

Although there are no documents to certify its founders, some people say that this settlement would have been built by Alexander Ipsilanti on the ruins of a former brâncovenian building. It seems that in some pre-war documents when the building belonged to the commune's town hall, it was "Citizenship of Ipsilanti". Anyway, among those who owned the building were Nicolae Dudescu and his son Constantin, who later sold it to banker Ioan Hagi Mosco(u).

The Hagi Mosco(u) family will sell the complex of Baron (AROMANIAN/VLACH) Simon Sina from Vienna.

HAGI MOSCU FAMILY was AROMANIANS / VLACHS.

There are voices among the AROMANIANS/VLACHS from GREECE, who said that the family of Alexander Ipsilanti's mother had AROMANIAN/VLACH origin.

ORTHODOX CHURCH TRANSFIGURATION - ODORHEIUL SECUIESC - HARGHITA COUNTY - ROMANIA

The small church we see was rebuilt in 1920. The Church of Change to the Girl located in Kossuth Street was built at the end of the 17th century by a Greek-Catholic resident, Görög Adrás (Andrei Grecul (Andrei the Greek). The church was left with the will, along with all its wealth, "the Walachians of the same religion."

Romanian and AROMANIAN / VLACH merchants are present in Odorheiu Secuiesc where, in 1600, they build an Orthodox church.

GREEK CHURCH "ANNUNCIATION" - ALBA IULIA - ALBA COUNTY - ROMANIA

The "Greek Church" is one of the four places of worship raised for the Romanians in "Lower Town" in the 18th century. The name of the "Greek Church" refers to the contribution of AROMANIANS / VLACHS merchants to its rise. Among the founders would be the name of the priest Nicolae Rat, the last confessor of Horea and Closca. The document also mentions the "un-united" church, that is, the Orthodox Church, unlike the Greek-Catholic sites. The need to raise the place of worship seems to be related to the takeover of the Orthodox Church in the current Lipoveni district by the united after 1760.

Born in Bucharest in 1819 from a "machidon" (AROMANIAN/VLACH) coming from Epirus and a Romanian, he was a lucky person in his life, in the sense that he appeared in the world in a wealthy family (as were all the great army merchants who had fought through Europe after the Ottomans had destroyed the famous capital Moscopole). He naturally received a chosen education, his childhood and his youth being superimposed over the period of national rebirth: the revolt of Tudor, the earthly rulers, the Organic Regulation, the Revolutions of 1848, the Principality issue, etc. His father gradually made a huge fortune - probably from the merchandise, so that his family had more land in Teleorman, Giurgiu and Prahova, as well as houses in Bucharest.

ORTHODOX CHURCH "ASSUPTION" - LUGOJ - TIMIȘ COUNTY - ROMANIA

The "Assumption of the Virgin" Orthodox Cathedral, the church with two towers, as they call it the locals, comes to replace the old "Saint Nicholas" church (1726), of which only today is the tower. Between 1759-1766 the "zealous Romanian citizens", headed by Gavril Gurean, started to build a new and magnificent worship place.

Gavril Gurean was one of the most powerful and rich migrants in Banat, being the first epitaph of the church (1759- 1771) and the most eager of his contemporaries.

The church is one of the most important Baroque buildings in Banat, impressing by its monumentality, but also by its historical and art values.

During the 1934-1944 Terneic Restoration, it was decided to replace the old paintings in fresco with a true fresco, which will be performed by the famous painter Anastasie Demian (1941-1944).

The non-Byzantine iconographic canon is adapted to the particularities of the interior of this type of construction, resulting in an agreement between painting and architectural space.

ANASTASE DEMIAN was AROMANIAN/VLACH.

ALL SAINTS CHURCH - HAGI ENUŞ -CRAIOVA - DOLJ COUNTY - ROMANIA

The construction of the church dates back to the years 1792-1800, according to the information extracted from the scribe in Slavonic carved in stone in its porch, by the Romanian and AROMANIANS/VLACH merchants. Returning to the church's record, countless sources point to the mention of the church's founder of a certain Nicholas Ceauşoiu or Ceausescu, who is known to have an adopted son, Nicola (s), brother or relative to Hagi Enuş Costa Petru (Hagi Enuş, Hagi Enuşi, Hagi Ienuşi, Ene Nanu, or Nanu Costa Petru), who will later take care of the church and give it the present name.

We do not know the reasons why this information was omitted from the church courtyard information pad, but we assume it is based on the rejection of any possible connection with the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.

The sources spell out that the main founder of the new church, Nicolae Ceausescu, had an adoptive son, Nicola (e), the son of the Greek merchant or the aroma of Costa Petru and brother of Hagi Enuş.

After the death of Ceausescu, Hagi Enuş helps his brother in the epitropy of the church.

This explains the change of the church's name in the oral tradition at the Fair Outside, then the Old Outside Fair (with the relocation of the fair), the Old Hagiu Fair, the Hagiu Church and later the Hagi Enuş Church.

Officially, the name change occurred on July 29, 1859 when, at an address of the Municipal Council of Craiova under no. 1285, the site first appeared under the name of the Hagi Enuş church.

Of AROMANIAN/VLACH origin, Hagi Enuş was a wealthy merchant of Craiova, whose name we find among the epitropes of the Madonna Dudu church (at that time Mother Precista of Dudu), of the house of Jupanese Smaranda Brăiloiu and of the All Saints Church.

Besides merchandising and epitropy, Hagi Enuş also became involved in the Revolution of 1821, when he loaned Tudor Vladimirescu with 4.953 lei for arms expenses.

This support, however, was not disinterested, Hagi Enuş aiming to enter the graces of the revolutionary hero. Vladimirescu understood the skills of the skilled merchant, accusing him of one of the points in the "Demands of the Romanian people" that he would have plundered the country through robberies and condemned him to the expulsion from the country.

The decision could not be implemented because of the tragic end of the Revolution leader.

Later, Hagi Enuş falls into the disgrace of the people and is forced, one after the other, to cede the epitropy of the house of Jupanese Brăiloiu and that of the All Saints (April 1824). In the posters behind this year only the "house of the late Hagi Enuş" is mentioned.

ASSUPTION CHURCH - CĂLĂRAȘ - DOLJ COUNTY - ROMANIA

The church was built between 1820 and 1833 by the merchant Hagi Enuş Costa Petru (Hagi Enuş, Hagi Enuşi, Hagi Ienuşi, Ene Nanu, or Nanu Costa Petru) from Craiova city.

The interior painting was performed by Marin Pugravul in the tempera style. The outer painting, preserved very well thanks to the great sculpture, reflects the folk harbor of the carriages, giving a special note to the holy lodge. The historian Ioan Donat mentions the Calarasi church in his work Roaba Hermitage, showing that the inhabitants of the Hidden Village contributed to its construction.

Hagi Enuș was AROMANIAN / VLACH.

THE CHURCH MADONA DUDU - CRAIOVA - DOLJ COUNTY - ROMANIA

The first documentary attestation appeared in 1758, when on the site of the old wooden church, dating back to 1700, a larger one (built between 1750-1756, built from stone by the great cousin Constantin Fotescu and tanner Hagi Ion Gheorghe) was built.

It was built in Brancovenian style, with side apses, with three towers: one above the nave and two above the pronaos. In the years 1800-1801, the entire Craiova was burned by the Turks, including the Madona Dudu church.

The church was restored in 1842. In 1841, Iordache Otetelişanu entrusted Constantin Lecca with the execution of the painting at the Madona Dudu church, and in the summer of that year Lecca went to Vienna to buy the necessary paints. in 1844, it was made in oil in Western style and was well received by contemporaries. Constantin Lecca was the first painter hand-made Western-style church painting.

Hagi Enuș was the epitrop (protector) of the church.

This church was demolished in 1913. The current construction was carried out according to the plans of the architects Ion Trăjănescu and Sterie Becu, being built between 1929 and 1942.

Hagi Ion Gheorghe, Hagi Enus, painter Constantine Lecca and architect Sterie Becu were AROMANIAN / VLACHS.

THE IORGU STERIU HOUSE - BUCHAREST - ROMANIA

Iorgu Steriu was a skilled trader and restaurant owner from the first half of the 20th century in Bucharest.

Being an AROMANIAN/VLACH of origin, he proved to be a great philanthropist in the Balkans. The painting and the iconostasis of the Aromanian/Vlach church in the city of Coriţa (Korça, Albania today) - located near Pleasa, were executed in Bucharest at its expense, and in 1923 it was registered as endowing the school in Vodena Macedonia, today called Edessa, Greece) with a rich folk library.

GARDEN RESTAURANT LUZANA - BUCHAREST - ROMANIA

It is said that Liviu Rebreanu and Octavian Goga enjoyed themselves here in the Luzana Garden, because this was called in ancient times, with delicious dishes and Romanian wines, and on his return from the Universal Exhibition in Paris, renowned violinist Grigora Dinicu was greeted with a banquet.

Behind the "Dinu Lipatti" National College of Arts (which then housed the Orthodox School of Girls), a great garden, which was called "Seven nuts", was extended by the nineteenth century.

From it, three famous restaurant gardens, named Leo and Sausage, Pariziana and Suzana, were fired.

After the First World War, the Suzana Terrace entered the administration of the Iorgu Steriu (Aromanian/Vlach), a very enterprising man, a successful trader and a restaurant owner. On March 1, 1927, a building began, according to the plans of Iorgu Steriu's son-in-law, Achille Ghiaciu (Architect - Aromanian/Vlach, too).

The Romanian-style house and the surrounding gardens were named Luzana on October 23, 1927, becoming officially a "place made for the joy of a moment of the oysters of the troubles of life."

In addition to the charm of the place, the garden-restaurant fame has contributed a lot, and the attention Iorgu Steriu and his son Nicu have been choosing waiters and the extremely modern elements of the kitchen: an ice factory, a mechanical laundry laundry and dishes, bread and potato milling machines.

The famous Luzana also appears in the literature of the time, being mentioned by Camil Petrescu in the novel "Procust's Bed".

CHRISSOVELONI PALACE - GHIDIGENI - GALAȚI COUNTY - ROMANIA

The Crissoveloni family, a branch of an old family in the island of Chios, settled in Romania in Galaţi in 1848. Over the years, they have developed various businesses, being nowadays known throughout the world as a true dynasty of aristocrat bankers.

The domain of Ghidigeni was bought in 1879, by Dimitrie Mavrocordat, by Nicholas Crissoveloni, who built a school, which still houses the village church, its palace and its annexes on the bank of Bârlad.

During World War I, the palace was converted into a hospital, where Sybille Crissoveloni and the Queen Maria daughters worked as a volunteer. Here was the Queen Mary Ambulance Society.

In 1948, the ensemble was nationalized, transformed into a state farm, then into a school for children with special needs. Over time, the former residence has undergone numerous alterations and vandalism, and is now in an advanced state of decay.

In 2004, the ensemble was returned to the heirs of the Crissoveloni family, who want to set up a forest tourism base on the field.

ZOTTU HOUSE - CONSTANȚA - CONSTANȚA COUNTY - ROMANIA

The Zottu House, named after its first owner, Gheorghe Zottu, ascended on Elisabeth Boulevard between 1898 and 1900.

Jurist Gheorghe Zottu, former training judge in Pitesti, has been at the center of the centuries one of the most important characters of the city, being, since 1895, the president of the Constanţa Tribunal.

Built in an eclectic style with small rococo motifs, the house has its main façade facing the sea, with a secondary facade overlooking an interior courtyard.

The character of the construction is marked by the prismatic bovinda which gives the building a distinct appearance today, integrating excellently in the area's architecture.

The edifice was to be for a period of time the headquarters of the Consulate of Lithuania in Constanţa (since 1928), so that in the 1930s the Romanian Steaua Insurance Company would be in possession of it.

MAINSON ARSACHE (Now VILLAGE HALL) - VEDEA - GIURGIU COUNTY - ROMANIA

APOSTOL ARSACHE (APOSTOLOS ARSAKIS) politician of Aromanian origin, physician, economist, foreign minister. Following the assassination of Barbu Catargiu, Arsache is appointed to take over the post of prime minister of Romania.

Among the older buildings of the village we mention the building called "Conac". It's over 100 years old.

Here, in 1878, on the way to Bucharest, Osman Pasha, a Romanian prisoner of the army, was hosted for one night. The room where the Turkish general was sleeping is called the "Turkish Chamber".

The Apocalypse Arsache mansion was built in 1820 after the purchase of the Paraipani estate. Behind the palace was a true botanical garden, containing rare plant species. In the middle there were two artesian fountains of massive limestone and several statues.

Today, Vedea Town Hall is functioning in the manor. Next to this is the General School with grades I-VIII "Apostol Arsache."

Arsache's name is closely related to the double choice of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza because he proposed the dual choice in both countries and thus no articles of the Convention violate. He built a new town hall in Vedea, a new school, buildings that are still used today.

Osman Paşa was the head of the Ottoman army who attacked Plevna during the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878. After the Russian army crossed the Danube to Svishtov, it began to advance to the center of Bulgaria today, aiming to cross the Balkan Mountains to Constantinople, avoiding the fortified Turkish fortresses on the Black Sea. The Ottoman army, turned from Serbia after a conflict with that country, was massaged in the fortified town of Plevna, a town built and surrounded by numerous retreats, at an important intersection of roads.

After two unsuccessful assaults, in which he lost valuable troops, the commander of the Russian troops on the Balkan front, the great Duke Nicolai, insisted on the help of his Romanian ally Carol I. He also passed the Danube with an army Romanian and was commissioned by the Romanian-Romanian troops. He decided not to do any assault, but to siege the city, cutting off the food and ammunition supply routes. The Romanian-Romanian army succeeded at the beginning of the siege to conquer more renegades around Plevna, keeping only Grivita in the long run. The siege begun in July 1877 ended only in December of the same year when Osman Pasha tried unsuccessfully to force the siege to break and was hurt. Finally, a refugee in a mill, Osman received the delegation led by Colonel Michael Cerchez and accepted the conditions of surrender offered by him.

After the battle, the Russian armies could advance and forcefully attack the Sipka, succeeding in defeating the Ottoman defensive and opening their way to Constantinople.

St. PANTELEIMON CHURCH - VEDEA - GIURGIU COUNTY - ROMANIA

It was founded by Apostol Arsache.

The migration of the Arsache family is closely linked to the abuses of the ayan by Iannina Ali Pasha. The first of the Arsache family to migrate was George, Uncle Apostol Arsache; then Chiriac, his father, migrates. After arriving in Chiriac's Romani country, he trades in the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Empire.

After nearly two years of study, on March 11, 1812, he earned his doctorate in medicine. His doctoral dissertation is titled "DE PISCIUM CEREBRO ET MEDULLA SPINALI" (1813) .This is due to the information in this thesis, Arsache is considered by Darwin's precursor as a researcher. in the capital of the Habsburg Empire, he returns to Wallachia and he is a doctor at Pantelimon and Coltea Hospitals in Bucharest, where his colleagues Constantin Darvari and Constantin Caracas will have colleagues Constantin Darvari will offer his daughter, Elena, to his young colleague.

CHURCH OF St. GEORGE - OLD - PLOIEȘTI - PRAHOVA COUNTY - ROMANIA

In spite of these repairs, in the late 1930s, the church was in a bad condition, so between 1939 and 1942, a general restoration was made after the plans of the architect Sterie Becu. Only the foundation and the outer wall were kept up above the windows, the church being fully raised, this time with a single tower in the wall. The stone floor was replaced with white mosaic tiles and was brought to the sculpted side of oak wood.

The beauty of the new church was affected by the earthquake of 1940, which caused great damage, and consequently in the following years the tower was restored, as did the columns of the porch that had been spoiled. The locality suffered damage in 1944, when US aviation bombarded the refineries near Ploiesti and the city. A bomb fell right next to the church. The damage was remedied in record time, so that in 1946 the church was restored.

The place is imposing: 32 meters long, 23 meters high, 9 meters wide, 14 meters wide in the apse area. The entrance is through a porch with three trilobed archways on strong reinforced concrete pillars in an elongated narthex, divided into two parts with a three-arcade wall on beautifully sculpted oak wood poles, crowned by a railing from oak plank, travert with geometric motifs.

RED INN - TURNU SEVERIN - MEHEDINȚI COUNTY - ROMANIA

The oldest building in the city of Drobeta Turnu Severin, built in 1836, the same year as Carantina, had its attractions over time.

The Red Inn was one of the seven-eight beautiful houses in the town in 1841, when the county administrative institutions from Cerneti moved. Situated in the south-eastern corner of the current Stefan cel Mare Market, on Aurelian Street, the Red House was erected by Greek merchants (many of them AROMANIANS/VLACHS), in an era of development of goods transit from Schela to Cerneti shows in the Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Mehedinţi County, coordinated by Ileana Roman and Dr. Tudor Răţoi, director of the Mehedinţi National Archives.

The inn had cellars, used as warehouses, rental halls, wardrobes and shops, with massive metal shutters opening to Aurelian Street and the market, and perhaps a household courtyard for animal shelters and shelters. The benefit of a strategic settlement - near the quarantine, not far from the border and customs, with the main façade facing west, overlooking the Danube and the Schela Cladovei, from where the ships descended. By choosing this place of construction, the Greek and AROMANIANS/VLACHS merchants anticipated the advantages of the proximity of the port (1851), the Post and Telegraph, the road linking Vârciorova to Turnu Severin (Carol Carol), and the train station (along with the construction of the railway).

This is considered the first document attesting the beginning of the existence on the Romanian territory of a community of ethnic Albanian origin. In the next two centuries, the documents referred to the arnauts (mercenary soldiers) and merchants of the Albanian, the rulers of the Ghica family and that of the ruler of Moldavia, Vasile Lupu, the Albanian (1634-1635).

It was disbanded in 1968, its villages being divided between the Floresti and the Filipeştii de Pădure communes.
