Lost or endangered musical edifices in Iași
Lost or endangered musical edifices in Iași

Summary/Abstract: The same as Prague or Florence, the city of Iași is a place blessed by the Muses for anyone who is fond of culture. Perhaps nowhere in Romania does such a consistency of history, culture and fame exist as here! Our study is not a result of nostalgia, but an alarm to those who should keep available places, things and monuments involved in the Romanian arts, culture and genius. Almost each street or building in Salzburg tells us about Amadeus. Iași includes all sort of memories about famous names, Romanian or European, which unfortunately disappear one by one. On the occasion of the single Romanian Music Festival (18th edition, Iași 2014), we decided to display information and warnings regarding some musical edifices in Iași which do not exist anymore or are about to disappear. Among others, Ghica House, edifices on Lăpușneanu Street, Sadoveanu estate and further more. Culture does not only mean being a spectator, an onlooker, an outsider; culture means education, knowledge, morals, law and so on. As inhabitants of Iaşi city we must do infinitely more to build a cultural city: socially, economically, with a civic attitude!
