Whose idea was the museum
The idea of setting up the House of Romance in Targoviste belongs to the founder and president of the Cultural Center for UNESCO “Fortress of Romance” Targoviste, Teodor Vasiliu, doctor in history, author of the monograph “History of the Golden Chrysanthemum”, passionate researcher of the genre and musical phenomenon in Targoviste Holder of an impressive personal collection in the field of Romance and the “Golden Chrysanthemum” Festival. Through this museum approach, the public has the opportunity to enter the fascinating world of Romance that has served great composers, performers, actors and notable personalities of the national culture and valuable artists of the international scene.
The King Carol I Boulevard building, no. 3, where the “House of Romance” was built and inaugurated in Târgoviște on October 18, 2017, has its own heritage value. It belongs to the Dâmbovița City Council and was transferred to the UNESCO Cultural Center “Cetatea Romanței” Târgoviște, in 2017, considering the greatest public interest, also expressed during the official meetings with the delegations of the representatives of the Romanian National Commission for UNESCO and the FEACU. , with the aim of establishing and accrediting the Casa del Romance as a Museum of Romance, thus becoming one of the 40 music museums in the world and one of the 5 museums of heritage musical genres in the world. His choice was also justified from a historical point of view, considering that in this building the birth certificate of the National Festival of Romance “Golden Chrysanthemum” was signed in 1968, the largest national music event in Romania dedicated to Romance, which offered to the Târgovişte municipality a deserved cultural status as Capital of Romance.
Public commitments expressed by local authorities in 2017 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the “Golden Chrysanthemum” National Romance Festival and at official meetings, including those of the Honorary President of the World Federation of Associations, Centers and Clubs for UNESCO, Sir. George Christophides, expresses his full support for this great cultural project highly appreciated by all the national and international personalities who paid tribute to the opening ceremony of the “House of Romance” in Targoviste.
Likewise, the patronage granted to the House of Romance by the Federation of Associations, Centers and Clubs of UNESCO in Europe and North America is an expression and guarantee of the greatest interest that the distinguished representatives of UNESCO give to the Museum of Romance in Targoviste, in the current space. . This is a very important goal in the official approach that the Targoviste Cultural Center for UNESCO “Citadel of Romance” has initiated in the Ministry of Culture and National Identity, together with the City Hall and the Targoviste Local Council and the Romanian National Commission for UNESCO, to include Romance in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO.
