Statue Of Mihai Eminescu, Galați
A statue of Mihai Eminescu in Galați, Romania, is located in Mihai Eminescu Park on Domnească Street. Preparations In March 1909, an organizing committee was set up with the goal of commemorating 20 years since the death of poet Mihai Eminescu. Its members planned to finance a statue from sales of a book dedicated to Eminescu and a medallion, as well as through donations. The committee included Jean Bart and Henric Sanielevici. Press reports were favorable, except for Nicolae Iorga’s ''Neamul românesc'', which commented ironically on Sanielevici. Ion Scurtu helped promote the initiative in Bucharest. In June, the Romanian Writers' Society organized a fundraising event at the Papadopol Theater in Galați; participants included Mihail Sadoveanu, Cincinat Pavelescu, Ion Minulescu, Dimitrie Anghel and Eugen Lovinescu; attendance was somewhat sparse.Păltăna and Țurlan, p. 249 Description and unveiling By 1911, sufficient funds for the statue had been gathered.

National Liberal Party (Romania, 1875)

Among the many splits during the party's early history a notable one was that led ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
