FEBRUARY 2020
On February 7th, 2020, a few students from “Mihai Eminescu” National College, Petrosani, along with Mrs. Stefania Manea, coordinator of the Erasmus+ project “Promotion of Identity, European Culture and Tradition”, ref. no. 2018-1-IT02-KA229-047925_3 and Mr. Roland Szedlacsek, responsible with dissemination and IT activities, visited “Ianza Castle” from Petrosani. Our host was Mr. Cristian Ianza, who is a plastic artist specialised in ceramics and the founder of “Ianza Art Inter-Cultural Foundation”. He accepted to host us and speak about his family’s history and his foundation.
His great-great-grandfather emigrated from Padova, Italy and established in Blaj, Transylvania, Romania where he served as a Uniate vicar. His great-grandfather, Vasile Ianza, a wealthy businessman, who was from Sarmizegetusa, moved to Petrosani. He was, at first, praetor and the first-praetor of Petrosani region. After Transylvania was returned to Romania, Ianza was the first Romanian prefect of Hunedoara.
The Ianza family had a very important role in the development of Petrosani. Ianza Castle, built by the artist’s great-grandfather and Ianza-Art Inter-Cultural Foundation, is one of the most prominent buildings in Petrosani, becoming an important cultural center for the municipality.
Ianza Castle dates back to 1903 and it belonged to the Ianza family, but when the communists came they took it from them and throughout the time it had different roles for the community. Mr. Cristian Ianza struggled for 30 years to get what his family owned back and in 2013 he opened the foundation and invested a lot of money in the restoration of the castle. He has organised lots of cultural activities and exhibitions in his gallery as well as camps of visual arts.
On this occasion, we had the opportunity to find out a lot of interesting things about the history of our town and its cultural heritage.

made souvenirs for their host families and the teachers from both Greece and Italy.

On Tuesday, 3 July 2019, 19 students from “Mihai Eminescu” National College with Mrs. Stefania Manea, coordinator of the Erasmus+ Project “Promotion Of Identity, European Culture and Tradition”, ref. no. 2018-1-IT02-KA229-047925_3, came together and prepared some of the presents that we are planning to give to the Greek and Italian students and teachers that we are going to host.
The students learned to make souvenirs, the girls sewed Romanian traditionally decorated bookmarks while the boys handmade thread bracelets featuring Romania’s flag colours, red, yellow and blue.
MARCH 2020
In order to to that they had to search on the internet and watch tutorials on youtube in order to learn how to sew and handmake bracelets.
They were also suggested two books in .pdf format that present sewing techniques and traditional motifs to be used.
They prepared souvenirs for their Italian colleagues and teachers. They used coal with wire to make “Martisoare” on 24 February 2020.
Mărțișor is a celebration at the beginning of spring, on March the 1st in Romania. It is the name for the red and white string with hanging tassel customarily given on the 1st day of March. Giving this talisman to people is an old custom, and it is believed that the wearer will be strong and healthy for the year to come. It is also a symbol of the coming spring. They also prepared a presentation about this celebration that was uploaded on Twinspace which they wanted to present to their colleagues during C1 mobility. https://twinspace.etwinning.net/77604/materials/files
