1. Welcome
to
Bacau

2. Bacau County is a little bit of everything. It is a
puzzle that brings together spectacular sceneries
of nature, impressive buildings and, above them
all, the hospitality, simplicity and generosity of
the Christians that blessed this place

3. • The human history of these
places is lost beyond the
mystery of years. The artifacts
brought to light during the
last half of the century are an
undeniable proof of our
existence here since
Paleolithic, over 35.000 years
before Christ.
• Cucuteni culture, one of the
most surprising and brilliant
in Central and Eastern
Europe, hasn’t unfolded it’s
mystery of the motives
painted on the impressive
pottery not even to the most
experimented researchers.

4. Hoping and praying for His forgiveness

7. Striving for perfection…against all pagan
doubts

8. The classic perfume of
the times past…

13. The temptation of
today&tomorrow

17. The charm of
eternity

18. George Bacovia

20. “They all come back and journeys end
Spring proudly reigns over the land
Her gentle sun and her blue nights
Raising her charm to serene heights”
“Summer nights went past
Let the fields hot and dry
Lime trees saw my lust
You never come, I wonder why”
“Colors and autumn smoke, the poet crying
The water’s cold, the leaves are dying
Walk slowly and speak quietly
For everything’s been falling mournfully”
“Century old snow, silence, things have settled down,
The wind is late to come to the white town.
It snows as if they had all died,
As if they were all still alive”

21. And the accuracy of genus

22. Nadia
Comaneci
