23 YEARS IN THE SERVICE OF ROMANIAN HERITAGE AND COMMUNITIES

Activity reports

The year 2022 was marked by several public events in the communities where we operate.

The launch of the music textbook supported music teachers, parents and children with a free editorial product in both digital and print formats.

The year-long cultural-creative project “Maria Cantili Golescu Culinary Diary – recipes, tastes, objects and experiments” brought together translators and linguists, chefs and culinary experts, students, craftsmen and designers, in a unique concept dedicated to the Golescu Villa. The festive day was a unique event in Câmpulung Muscel called on to continue.

Also during the year, the Golescu Villa hosted two important residencies, one literary and one environmental, components of the pilot program “Creative Residencies Accelerator”.

Taking advantage of the warm weather at the Neamțu Manor in Olari, intensive work was carried out at the restoration site as well as on the agricultural work on the land around the mansion.

For the second consecutive year the George Enescu House was part of the cultural-community project initiated by the Foundation – “Concerts on the Siret” – with organized masterclasses and concerts.

Heritage Education continued with workshops, kits and camps organized for children from Olari, Mihăileni, Vârfu Câmpului and Câmpulung. The music education lessons provided the children near the Enescu House with a necessary support in approaching music as an educational tool.

SOS Heritage is the permanent lobbying activity and response to society’s problems through which Pro Patrimonio was involved in 2022. #301forheritage, SOS Urlați Town Hall or lobby for the Steaua Română Refinery in Câmpina are just a few.

Trans-annual, one-off projects and administrative activities have been supported by private sponsors, by 20% of corporate income tax from some companies, by 3.5% of income redirection from many individuals, by annual membership fees, by funding from AFCN-type competitions, as well as welcome support from members of the Romanian Bohemian Ball 2022 and donations from UiPath Foundation, Prebet Aiud, Ratiu Family Charitable Foundation, Southern Commercial Development Company (SDCS), Rockwool, Cărturești Foundation, Evanesse Design, IMSAT, Caroline D’Assay, Mr Robin Hardie, Maria Association. Thanks to all of them!

In parallel with these recognitions, the Foundation carried out extensive works to restore Neamțu Manor’s facades in Olari and in partnership with UiPath Foundation, launched the “Experimental Centre for Studies and Education at the Neamțu Manor in Olari”.

Heritage Education programmes included the “School of Landscape, Art and Sound” at the George Enescu House in Mihăileni and the Crafts Workshop at the Neamțu Manor in Olari.

At the George Enescu House in Mihăileni, the garden landscaping works have been completed, resulting in a homogeneous and functional ensemble. A cultural-community project initiated by the Foundation was also the project “Concerts on the Siret River” held in the garden of the George Enescu House in Mihăileni, at the Miclescu Manor in Călinești and at the Moruzi Manor in Vârfu Câmpului.

SOS Heritage’s lobbying work has spanned the year in many difficult moments militating mostly for mobile heritage.

Trans-annual, one-off projects and administrative activities have been supported by private sponsors, 20% corporate tax rebates from companies, 3.5% income rebates from many individuals, annual membership fees and donations as well as funding from AFCN and Europa Nostra Award competitions.

The foundation’s projects and activities were supported in 2020 by members, private donors, cultural funding as received from AFCN and the INP Historical Monuments Stamp Tax, the strategic partnership with the Uipath Foundation, charitable activities carried out with the Romanian Boyar Ball and the Charity Concert organized at the residence of the British ambassador in Bucharest or the significant support of private sponsors such as Prebet Aiud, Sikkens and Geberit. We thank all of them for helping us to fulfill first of all our flagship project, the inauguration of the George Enescu House in Mihăileni and the educational activities in the local community, but also the whole of the foundation’s activities that are part of its fundamental mission.
