Bulgars
The Bulgars (also Bolgars, Bulghars, or Proto-Bulgarians) were a people who lived in Eastern Europe during the Early Middle Ages. Their ethnicity is uncertain but most scholars posit that they were a Turkic people with some Iranian elements that migrated to Europe from Central Asia in 4th century. In the 7th century they established two states on the Pontic-Caspian steppe: Great Bulgaria, which spanned between the Caspian Sea and Black Sea, and Volga Bulgaria on the territory that is now part of the Russian Republics of Tatarstan and Chuvashia. Likewise, they imposed themselves in the Balkans as the elite ruling class of the Danube Bulgar Khanate. In each of these regions they were gradually assimilated over a period of centuries by the local ethnic groups, giving rise to several modern peoples claiming descent from them: Volga Tatars (see Bulgarism) and Chuvash, Balkars and Bulgarians.

The European Avars, or Ancient Avars, were a highly organized nomadic confederacy of mixed origins. They were ruled by a khagan, who was surrounded by a tight-knit retinue of nomad warriors, an organization characteristic of Turkic groups. Although the name Avar first appeared in the mid fifth century, the Avars of Europe enter the historical scene in the mid sixth century A.D., when they established a pax spanning considerable areas of Central and Eastern Europe. Avar rule persisted over much of the Pannonian Plain up to the early 9th century. Their ultimate fate is believed to have been assimilation by the invading Magyars (Hungarians).

Huns
The Huns were a group of nomadic pastoral people who, appearing from beyond the Volga, migrated into Europe c. AD 370 and built up an enormous empire in Europe. Since De Guignes linked them with the Xiongnu who had been northern neighbours of China 300 years earlier to the emergence of Huns, considerable scholarly effort has been devoted in investigating such a connection. However, there is no evidence for a direct connection between the dominant element of the Xiongnu and that of the Huns. A contemporary mentions that the Huns had a language of their own; very little of it has survived and its relationships have been the subject of debate for centuries. According to some theories, it was a Turkic language. Numerous other languages were spoken within the Hun pax including East Germanic. Their main military technique was mounted archery.

The Migration Period, also called the Barbarian Invasions or (wandering of the peoples), was a period of human migration that occurred roughly between AD 300 to 700 in Europe, marking the transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages. These movements were catalyzed by profound changes within both the Roman Empire and the so-called 'barbarian frontier'. Migrating peoples during this period included the Huns, Goths, Vandals, Bulgars, Alans, Suebi, Frisians, and Franks, among other Germanic and Slavic tribes.

Tristan Tzara
Tristan Tzara (; born Samuel or Samy Rosenstock, also known as S. Samyro; –December 25, 1963) was a Romanian and French avant-garde poet, essayist and performance artist. Also active as a journalist, playwright, literary and art critic, composer and film director, he was known best for being one of the founders and central figures of the anti-establishment Dada movement. Under the influence of Adrian Maniu, the adolescent Tzara became interested in Symbolism and co-founded the magazine Simbolul with Ion Vinea (with whom he also wrote experimental poetry) and painter Marcel Janco. During World War I, after briefly collaborating on Vinea's Chemarea, he joined Janco in Switzerland. There, Tzara's shows at the Cabaret Voltaire and Zunfthaus zur Waag, as well as his poetry and art manifestos, became a main feature of early Dadaism. His work represented Dada's nihilistic side, in contrast with the more moderate approach favored by Hugo Ball.

World War I
World War I was a military conflict centered on Europe that began in the summer of 1914. The fighting ended in late 1918. This conflict involved all of the world's great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (centred around the Triple Entente) and the Central Powers. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed, due largely to great technological advances in firepower without corresponding ones in mobility. It was the second deadliest conflict in history.

karaoke
romina viaja tierna y nueva
de campo a estrella
iba subiendo por las teclas
del piano
escalera
romina se ha escapado lejos
tras de un conejo
blanco
y aunque sabe que la esperan
se va jugando
romina lleva caramelos
que arroja del cielo
y cuando llega el aguacero
son dulces los suelos
para romina entre los astros es un jardin
el espacio
y mientras viva la alegria
su dia es largo
romina si tuvieras tiempo
piensa en mi
romina desde que estas lejos
no es sencillo
ningun juego
de los que aprendi
para vivir
romina canta cuando baja
del monte
a algun rio
y cuando llega la mañana
los ojos
le miro
para romina una guitarra resonara
por siempre
que mientras viva la esperanza
romina vuelve
romina
si tuvieras tiempo piensa en mi
romina
desde que estas tan lejos
no es sencillo
ningun juego
de los que aprendi
para vivir
romina duerme cuando noche
vestida en la luna
y desde alla nos reconoce
nos mira
sin duda
si cuando el sol que da un domingo
promete un bello dia
sera seguro que contigo
romina mia

Al Bano & Romina Power - ERA CASA MIA (It Was My Home)
Boys that watched the clouds
relaxed on the frontiers of the ocean
dreamed to be more free
counting the indifferent days that passed.
Girls with the scarf embroidered
sitting in the gardens of the color of ebony.
They watched the open and clear blue
and in the shadow of a mourning they continued.
It was my home.
It was simple place.
Someone one day
took me away
It was my home.
I was so young.
And didn't make it in time
not even to cry.
People that don't know why they go.
They laugh also is they don't enjoy themselves.
And they are only sincere when they sleep,
different from the friends that I miss.
...
And in certain evenings when the wind will blow
it will bring the perfume of my 20s back.
And I that would breath it for life
will be able to hold the time still for a moment.

Come vorei vorei amarti meno

Che lo voglia o no
Ho voglia sempre voglia di te

la Felicità, Felicità
Senti nell'aria c'è già
la nostra canzone d'amore che va
come un pensiero che sa
la Felicità
3. Tu soltantu tu (1982)
Tu soltanto tu
Con le canzoni che
Mi canti tu
Con qualche tua poesia malinconia
Con tutti quei pensieri d'amore
Quasi a tutte le ore
Tu soltanto tu
Con tutte le emozioni
Che mi dai
Con quello sguardo che tu sola hai
Con l'aria di chi a fare l'amore
Ci mette anche il cuore
Mi hai fatto innamorare
Mi hai fatto innamorare
Facendomi sognare
Un po' di più
Ogni ora di più
Ogni anno di più
Con il corpo e con la mente
Contemporaneamente
Mi hai fatto innamorare
Mi hai fatto innamorare
Mi hai fatto innamorare
Amore mio
Per volare con te
Solamente con te
Abbracciati dolcemente
Da soli o tra la gente
4. Sharazan (1981)
Sharazan, Sharazan
Paradiso che mi dà
Sempre la felicità
Oh oh oh
Sharazan, Sharazan
Ali azzurre per volare
Per scoprire che c'è ancora
Un posto giusto per amare.

Al Bano & Romina Power - ERA CASA MIA (It Was My Home)
Boys that watched the clouds
relaxed on the frontiers of the ocean
dreamed to be more free
counting the indifferent days that passed.
Girls with the scarf embroidered
sitting in the gardens of the color of ebony.
They watched the open and clear blue
and in the shadow of a mourning they continued.
It was my home.
It was simple place.
Someone one day
took me away
It was my home.
I was so young.
And didn't make it in time
not even to cry.
People that don't know why they go.
They laugh also is they don't enjoy themselves.
And they are only sincere when they sleep,
different from the friends that I miss.
...
And in certain evenings when the wind will blow
it will bring the perfume of my 20s back.
And I that would breath it for life
will be able to hold the time still for a moment.

Saranda- Okinawa
(Carrisi/ Pallavicini)
Al Bano:
Saranda in Albania
me ne parlò mio padre
tornava sulla via
della sua gioventù.
Mi hanno mandato in guerra
contro la brava gente,
l'uomo come bersaglio,
non lo farei mai più.
Saranda, Saranda
mi raccontava
mentre piangeva un po'.
Saranda, Saranda
per due stellette
ma stelle vere no.
Romina:
Bello con la divisa,
primo luogotenente,
mio padre era un pilota
era il '43.
Nei cieli del Giappone
vide col suo squadrone
quello che un uomo giusto
non vuol vedere più.
Okinawa, Okinawa
un sole giallo
scaldarsi non si può.
Okinawa, Okinawa
stelle e strisce
ma stelle vere no.
Al Bano:
Saranda, Saranda
mi raccontava
mentre piangeva un po'.
Romina:

*Both:

** Repeat and Fade Out
tekst przetłumaczony na polski
Al Bano:
Saranda w Albanii,
mój ojciec opowiadał mi,
wracając po drodze swojej młodości.
Rozkazali mi iść na wojnę
przeciw dobrym ludziom,
ludzie jako cele,
nie chciałbym tego robić nigdy więcej.
Saranda, Saranda
mówił to do mnie
a jego oczy łzawiły.
Saranda, Saranda
dla dwóch małych gwiazd
ale nie prawdziwych gwiazd.
Romina:
Piękny w mundurze,
prowadzący porucznik,
mój ojciec był pilotem,
to było w 43.
Na niebie ponad Japonią
widział ze swoją eskadrą
to czego człowiek nie chciałby widzieć nigdy więcej.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
żółtym Słońcem
nie można się ogrzać.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
gwiazdy i smugi
ale nie prawdziwe gwiazdy.
Al Bano:

Saranda- Okinawa
Saranda in Albania,
my father told me that,
he came back on the way
of his youth.
They've sent me into battle
against good people,
the man as a target,
I wouldn't do that anymore.
Saranda, Saranda
he told me
while he cried a bit.
Saranda, Saranda
for two little stars
but no true stars.
Beautiful with the uniform,
first proxy,
my father was a pilot,
it was in '43.
In the sky over Japan
he saw with his squadron
that what a just man
doesn't want to see anymore.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
a yellow sun
cannot warm.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
stars and stripes
but not true stars.

Saranda, Okinawa

Al Bano & Romina Power - Canto Di Libertà (1982)
Al Bano:
Dimenticarsi la fretta in una città,
allontanarsi vicini, andare più in là,
in una piccola casa sotto un bambù
tra gli animali e palme di una tribù
Romina:
Arcobaleni e fiori coltiverò
Delle farfalle amica diventerò
Inviteremmo gli amici all'ora del tè,
gabbiani, foce, pinguini e scimpanzé
Va bene anche la luna se c'è
Both:
Canta
la libertà
Cantando vivi
la libertà
Vivendo ama
la libertà
Amando senti
la libertà
Al Bano:
E sbadigliando il sole si sveglierà
I tuoi pensieri a mattino riscalderà
Dipingerà di colori fiori per te
Accenderà di ricordi le notti con me
Romina: Arcobaleni e fiori conserverò
per una sera speciale vicino al falò
Inviteremmo le amici a ballare con noi,
gabbiani, foce, pinguini e le stelle lassù
Vivremmo anche senza tivù
Both:
Canta
la libertà,
cantando vivi
la libertà,
vivendo ama
la libertà,
amando senti
la libertà
Canta
la libertà,
cantando vivi
la libertà,
vivendo ama
la libertà,
amando senti
la libertà.

Felicita e tenersi per mano
andare lontano la felicita.
E il tuo squardo innocente
in mezzo alla gente la felicita.
E restare vicini come bambini@
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e un cuscino di piume
l'acqua del fiume che passa e va.
E' la pioggia che scende dietro le tende la felicita.
E abbassare la luce per fare pace
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e un bicchiere di vino
con un panino la felicita.
E lasciarti un biglietto dentro al cassetto.
La felicita e cantare a due voci
quanto mi piaci la felicita
felicita.
Senti nell'ario c'e gia
la nostra canzone d'amore che va.
Come un pensiero che sa di felicita.
Senti nell'aria c'e gia
un raggio di sole piu caldo che va
come un sorriso che sa di felicita.
Felicitae una sera a sorpresa
la luce accesa e la radio che va
e'un biglietto d'auguri pieno di cuori la felicita.
E una telefonata non aspettata
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e una spiaggia di notte
l'onda che batte lafelicita.
E una mano sul cuore piena d'amore la felicita.
E aspettare l'aurora per fario ancory
la felicita
felicita.
Senti nell'ario c'e gia
la nostra canzone d'amore che va.
Come un pensiero che sa di felicita.
Senti nell'aria c'e gia
un raggio di sole piu caldo che va
come un sorriso che sa di felicita.

ogni anno di piu
con il corpo e con la mente
contemporaneamente.
Mi hai fatto innamorare
mi hai fatto innamorare
Mi hai fatto innamorare amore mio.
Per volare con te
solamente con te
abbracciati dolcemente
da soli o tra la gente.
Tu soltanto tu
con tutte le sorprese che mi fai
quel po di timidezza che tu hai
quel modo di vestire un po strano
con le mani sul piano.
Tu soltanto tu
col trucco o senza niente sempre tu
con la semplicita dei tuoi perche
col muso per un vecchio rancore
o col sorriso migliore.
Mi hai fatto innamorare
mi hai fatto innamorare
facendomi sognare un po di piu
ogni ora di piu
ogni anno di piu
con il corpo e con la mente
contemporaneamente.
Mi hai fatto innamorare
mi hai fatto innamorare
Mi hai fatto innamorare amore mio.
Per volare con te
solamente con te
abbracciati dolcemente
da soli o tra la gente.
Tu soltanto tu
tu soltanto tu.

Romina Francesca Power Christian (2 de octubre de 1951, 59) es una actriz y cantante norteamericana nacionalizada italiana. Estuvo casada con Albano Carrisi (1943), con el que formó un grupo musical y una familia de cuatro hijos.
[editar]Biografía
Nacida en Los Ángeles, California a finales de 1951, es hija del actor Tyrone Power (1914-1958) y de la actriz Linda Christian (1923-).
Sus padres se divorciaron en 1956 y entonces parte con su madre y hermana a vivir a Italia. El 26 de julio de 1970 se casa con el cantante Al Bano, con quien había cantado el dúo Storia di due innamorati (Historia de dos enamorados). Tuvieron cuatro hijos: Ylenia, nacida en 1970 y desaparecida en Nueva Orleans en 1994; Yari, nacido en 1973; Cristel, nacida en 1985; y Romina, nacida en 1987.
En 1975 interpretan Diálogo y en 1976 participan en el Festival de Eurovisión con We'll live it all again. En 1981 cantan Sharazan y al año siguiente están en San Remo con Felicità (Felicidad), que se ubica en la segunda posición. Vuelven al Festival en 1984 con Ci sarà y en 1985 participan de nuevo en Eurovisión con Magic oh magic.
En 1987 aparecen los discos Nostalgia canaglia (Nostalgia Canalla), tercero en San Remo, y Libertà (Libertad). Posteriormente sigue Cara terra mia, nuevamente tercero en San Remo en 1989. En 1991, la pareja interpreta en el Festival Oggi sposi.
En 1996 Al Bano comienza una carrera en solitario y en 1999 ambos se divorcian. Posteriormente Al Bano se va a vivir, sin matrimonio, con la animadora de televisión Loredana Lecciso, con la cual tuvo dos hijos.
Romina Power además ha declarado su pública admiración por su padre Tyrone Power (cuyo parecido físico es notable) y ha sido promotora de mantener la imagen de este en cada ocasión que lo amerite.

Al Bano & Romina Power - Abbandonati
viajando hacia un mar azul
para hacer un auto bar
canciones nuevas teckni pops
que no te cazara y
como amigas te iran subiendo,
la nubes van borrandose
de un cielo casi magico
se habre un horizonte que no
es el ultimo porque nos
llaman mundos lejanos,
el viento fuerte calido
susurra venga vamonos
porque la carretera va
y el verano no esperara,
coro
abandonate y buscamos esa
isla del que hablabas tu
un sol eterno es todo lo que
quiero de ti para entender a
lo que sirve la vida
abandonate y seras esa mujer
por la que yo soñe
la vida es como este viaje
que se emprende y te
lleva mas lejos.....
yo se que soy un soñador
pero lo mismo sueñas tu
espacios grandes sin final
donde comprender que la vida
es mas que una aventura
entre aguas del cristal azul
y noches de luciernagas
dejano todo un mundo atras
nuestro viaje no terminara

Al Bano & Romina Power - ERA CASA MIA (It Was My Home)
Boys that watched the clouds
relaxed on the frontiers of the ocean
dreamed to be more free
counting the indifferent days that passed.
Girls with the scarf embroidered
sitting in the gardens of the color of ebony.
They watched the open and clear blue
and in the shadow of a mourning they continued.
It was my home.
It was simple place.
Someone one day
took me away
It was my home.
I was so young.
And didn't make it in time
not even to cry.
People that don't know why they go.
They laugh also is they don't enjoy themselves.
And they are only sincere when they sleep,
different from the friends that I miss.
...
And in certain evenings when the wind will blow
it will bring the perfume of my 20s back.
And I that would breath it for life
will be able to hold the time still for a moment.

Al Bano & Romina Power - Felicita 1982
Felicita e tenersi per mano
andare lontano la felicita.
E il tuo squardo innocente
in mezzo alla gente la felicita.
E restare vicini come bambini@
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e un cuscino di piume
l'acqua del fiume che passa e va.
E' la pioggia che scende dietro le tende la felicita.
E abbassare la luce per fare pace
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e un bicchiere di vino
con un panino la felicita.
E lasciarti un biglietto dentro al cassetto.
La felicita e cantare a due voci
quanto mi piaci la felicita
felicita.
Senti nell'ario c'e gia
la nostra canzone d'amore che va.
Come un pensiero che sa di felicita.
Senti nell'aria c'e gia
un raggio di sole piu caldo che va
come un sorriso che sa di felicita.
Felicitae una sera a sorpresa
la luce accesa e la radio che va
e'un biglietto d'auguri pieno di cuori la felicita.
E una telefonata non aspettata
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e una spiaggia di notte
l'onda che batte lafelicita.
E una mano sul cuore piena d'amore la felicita.
E aspettare l'aurora per fario ancory
la felicita
felicita.
Senti nell'ario c'e gia
la nostra canzone d'amore che va.
Come un pensiero che sa di felicita.
Senti nell'aria c'e gia
un raggio di sole piu caldo che va
come un sorriso che sa di felicita.
Senti nell'ario c'e gia

Albano & Romina Power Saranda Okinawa
Saranda- Okinawa
(Carrisi/ Pallavicini)
Al Bano:
Saranda in Albania
me ne parlò mio padre
tornava sulla via
della sua gioventù.
Mi hanno mandato in guerra
contro la brava gente,
l'uomo come bersaglio,
non lo farei mai più.
Saranda, Saranda
mi raccontava
mentre piangeva un po'.
Saranda, Saranda
per due stellette
ma stelle vere no.
Romina:
Bello con la divisa,
primo luogotenente,
mio padre era un pilota
era il '43.
Nei cieli del Giappone
vide col suo squadrone
quello che un uomo giusto
non vuol vedere più.
Okinawa, Okinawa
un sole giallo
scaldarsi non si può.
Okinawa, Okinawa
stelle e strisce
ma stelle vere no.
Al Bano:
Saranda, Saranda
mi raccontava
mentre piangeva un po'.
Romina:
Okinawa, Okinawa
stelle e strisce
ma stelle vere no.
*Both:
Saranda, Okinawa
non ha importanza
non c'è da farlo più.*
** Repeat and Fade Out
tekst przetłumaczony na polski
Al Bano:
Saranda w Albanii,
mój ojciec opowiadał mi,
wracając po drodze swojej młodości.
Rozkazali mi iść na wojnę
przeciw dobrym ludziom,
ludzie jako cele,
nie chciałbym tego robić nigdy więcej.
Saranda, Saranda
mówił to do mnie
a jego oczy łzawiły.
Saranda, Saranda
dla dwóch małych gwiazd
ale nie prawdziwych gwiazd.
Romina:
Piękny w mundurze,
prowadzący porucznik,
mój ojciec był pilotem,
to było w 43.
Na niebie ponad Japonią
widział ze swoją eskadrą
to czego człowiek nie chciałby widzieć nigdy więcej.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
żółtym Słońcem
nie można się ogrzać.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
gwiazdy i smugi
ale nie prawdziwe gwiazdy.
Al Bano:
Saranda, Saranda
mówił to do mnie
a jego oczy łzawiły.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
gwiazdy i smugi
ale nie prawdziwe gwiazdy.
Razem:
Saranda, Okinawa
nie ma znaczenia,
nic nie uchodzi bezkarnie.
the English translation
Saranda- Okinawa
Saranda in Albania,
my father told me that,
he came back on the way
of his youth.
They've sent me into battle
against good people,
the man as a target,
I wouldn't do that anymore.
Saranda, Saranda
he told me
while he cried a bit.
Saranda, Saranda
for two little stars
but no true stars.
Beautiful with the uniform,
first proxy,
my father was a pilot,
it was in '43.
In the sky over Japan
he saw with his squadron
that what a just man
doesn't want to see anymore.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
a yellow sun
cannot warm.
Okinawa, Okinawa,
stars and stripes
but not true stars.
...
Saranda, Okinawa
hasn't importance,
there's nothing to do anymore.

Felicita e tenersi per mano
andare lontano la felicita.
E il tuo squardo innocente
in mezzo alla gente la felicita.
E restare vicini come bambini@
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e un cuscino di piume
l'acqua del fiume che passa e va.
E' la pioggia che scende dietro le tende la felicita.
E abbassare la luce per fare pace
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e un bicchiere di vino
con un panino la felicita.
E lasciarti un biglietto dentro al cassetto.
La felicita e cantare a due voci
quanto mi piaci la felicita
felicita.
Senti nell'ario c'e gia
la nostra canzone d'amore che va.
Come un pensiero che sa di felicita.
Senti nell'aria c'e gia
un raggio di sole piu caldo che va
come un sorriso che sa di felicita.
Felicitae una sera a sorpresa
la luce accesa e la radio che va
e'un biglietto d'auguri pieno di cuori la felicita.
E una telefonata non aspettata
la felicita
felicita.
Felicita e una spiaggia di notte
l'onda che batte lafelicita.
E una mano sul cuore piena d'amore la felicita.
E aspettare l'aurora per fario ancory
la felicita
felicita.
Senti nell'ario c'e gia
la nostra canzone d'amore che va.
Come un pensiero che sa di felicita.
Senti nell'aria c'e gia

come un sorriso che sa di felicita.

Albano y romina power - tu soltanto tu 1982
Romina Francesca Power Christian (2 de octubre de 1951, 59) es una actriz y cantante norteamericana nacionalizada italiana. Estuvo casada con Albano Carrisi (1943), con el que formó un grupo musical y una familia de cuatro hijos.
[editar]Biografía
Nacida en Los Ángeles, California a finales de 1951, es hija del actor Tyrone Power (1914-1958) y de la actriz Linda Christian (1923-).
Sus padres se divorciaron en 1956 y entonces parte con su madre y hermana a vivir a Italia. El 26 de julio de 1970 se casa con el cantante Al Bano, con quien había cantado el dúo Storia di due innamorati (Historia de dos enamorados). Tuvieron cuatro hijos: Ylenia, nacida en 1970 y desaparecida en Nueva Orleans en 1994; Yari, nacido en 1973; Cristel, nacida en 1985; y Romina, nacida en 1987.
En 1975 interpretan Diálogo y en 1976 participan en el Festival de Eurovisión con We'll live it all again. En 1981 cantan Sharazan y al año siguiente están en San Remo con Felicità (Felicidad), que se ubica en la segunda posición. Vuelven al Festival en 1984 con Ci sarà y en 1985 participan de nuevo en Eurovisión con Magic oh magic.
En 1987 aparecen los discos Nostalgia canaglia (Nostalgia Canalla), tercero en San Remo, y Libertà (Libertad). Posteriormente sigue Cara terra mia, nuevamente tercero en San Remo en 1989. En 1991, la pareja interpreta en el Festival Oggi sposi.
En 1996 Al Bano comienza una carrera en solitario y en 1999 ambos se divorcian. Posteriormente Al Bano se va a vivir, sin matrimonio, con la animadora de televisión Loredana Lecciso, con la cual tuvo dos hijos.
Romina Power además ha declarado su pública admiración por su padre Tyrone Power (cuyo parecido físico es notable) y ha sido promotora de mantener la imagen de este en cada ocasión que lo amerite.

Al Bano & Romina Power - Abbandonati
viajando hacia un mar azul
para hacer un auto bar
canciones nuevas teckni pops
que no te cazara y
como amigas te iran subiendo,
la nubes van borrandose
de un cielo casi magico
se habre un horizonte que no
es el ultimo porque nos
llaman mundos lejanos,
el viento fuerte calido
susurra venga vamonos
porque la carretera va
y el verano no esperara,
coro
abandonate y buscamos esa
isla del que hablabas tu
un sol eterno es todo lo que
quiero de ti para entender a
lo que sirve la vida
abandonate y seras esa mujer
por la que yo soñe
la vida es como este viaje
que se emprende y te
lleva mas lejos.....
yo se que soy un soñador
pero lo mismo sueñas tu
espacios grandes sin final
donde comprender que la vida
es mas que una aventura
entre aguas del cristal azul
y noches de luciernagas
dejano todo un mundo atras
nuestro viaje no terminara

Romania (
i/roʊˈmeɪniə/ roh-MAY-nee-ə; dated: Roumania;[6] or Rumania;[7][8] Romanian: România [romɨˈni.a] (
listen)) is a country located at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, on the Lower Danube, within and outside the Carpathian arch, bordering on the Black Sea.[9] Romania shares a border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and Moldova to the northeast and east, and Bulgaria to the south.
At 238,400 square kilometers (92,000 sq mi), Romania is the ninth largest country of the European Union by area, and has the seventh largest population of the European Union with over 19 million people.[2] Its capital and largest city is Bucharest, the tenth largest city in the EU with about two million people.
The Kingdom of Romania emerged when the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were united under Prince Alexander Ioan Cuza in 1859. Independence from the Ottoman Empire was declared on 9 May 1877, and was internationally recognized the following year. At the end of World War I, Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia united with the Kingdom of Romania. Greater Romania emerged into an era of progression and prosperity that would continue until World War II. By the end of the War, many north-eastern areas of Romania's territories were occupied by the Soviet Union, and Romania forcibly became a socialist republic and a member of the Warsaw Pact.
With the fall of the Iron Curtain and the 1989 Revolution, Romania began its transition towards democracy and a capitalist market economy. After a decade of post-revolution economic problems, extensive reforms fostered economic recovery making Romania now an upper middle-income country with high human development.[10]
Romania joined NATO on 29 March 2004, the European Union on 1 January 2007 and is also a member of the Latin Union, of the Francophonie, the OSCE, the WTO, the BSEC and the United Nations. Today, Romania is a unitary semi-presidential republic, in which the executive branch consists of the President and the Government.[11]

Etymology[link]
Main article: Name of Romania
The name of Romania, România, comes from român (previously rumân), "Romanian", which in turn is a derivative of the Latin romanus, meaning "citizen of Rome".[12] The fact that Romanians call themselves a derivative of romanus is first mentioned in the 16th century by Italian humanists travelling in Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia.[13][14][15][16]
The first written record of a Romance language spoken in the Middle Ages in the Balkans was written by the Byzantine chronicler Theophanes the Confessor in the 6th century about a military expedition against the Avars from 587, when a Vlach muleteer accompanying the Byzantine army noticed that the load was falling from one of the animals and shouted to a companion Torna, torna fratre ("Return, return brother!").
The oldest surviving document written in Romanian is a 1521 letter known as the "Letter of Neacșu from Câmpulung".[17] Among other firsts, this text is also notable for having the first documented occurrence of a Romanian word denoting the country's name: Wallachia is mentioned under the name of Țeara Rumânească ("The Romanian Land", țeara from the terra, "land"; current spelling: Țara Românească).
In the following centuries, Romanian documents use interchangeably two spelling forms: român and rumân.[note 1] Socio-linguistic evolutions in the late 17th century led to a process of semantic differentiation: the form rumân, presumably usual among the lower classes, received the meaning of "bondsman", while the form român kept an ethno-linguistic meaning.[18] After the abolition of serfdom in 1746, the form rumân gradually disappears and the spelling definitively stabilises to the form român, românesc.[note 2] Tudor Vladimirescu, a revolutionary leader of the early 19th century, used the term Rumânia to refer exclusively to the principality of Wallachia, the southern part of modern Romania.[19]
The name România as common homeland of all Romanians is documented in the early 19th century.[note 3] This name has been officially in use since 11 December 1861.[20] English-language sources still used the terms Rumania or Roumania, borrowed from the French spelling Roumanie, as recently as World War II,[21] but since then those terms have largely been replaced with the official spelling Romania.[22]
History[link]
Main article: History of Romania
Prehistory[link]
Some 42,000-year-old human remains were discovered in the "Cave With Bones", and being Europe’s oldest remains of Homo sapiens, they may represent the first modern humans to have entered the continent.[23]
Among the oldest traces of human existence and activity found in Romania include those dating from the Paleolithic. These remains were found at Bugiulești (Vâlcea County), Ohaba-Ponor (Hunedoara County) or Valea Dârjovului (Olt County), belonging to some of the more distant human ancestors. According to studies of historical anthropology, these hominids used carved stone tools, were gatherers, fishermen and hunters, lived organized in bands and were sheltered in caves and hollows.
The first manifestations of prehistoric art on current Romanian territory are the cave drawings from Lăpuș (Maramureș County) and Cuciulat (Sălaj County). Statues, such as those from Hamangia (Tulcea County) for example, are representations of male and female deities, expressions of the cult of fecundity predominantly in the Stone Age.
The Neolithic Age Cucuteni area in Northeast Romania was the Western region of the earliest European civilization[24][25] known as the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture.
Antiquity[link]
The earliest written evidence of people living in the territory of the present-day Romania, the Getae, comes from Herodotus, in his Histories book IV (c. 440 BC).[26] Territories located north of the Danube were inhabited by Dacian tribes, including Carpi, Apuli, Tyragetae, Costoboci, Burs, Krobyzoi and Suci and other peoples. Dacians, like the majority of Thracians, were henotheists, the main deities being: Zalmoxis, Gebeleizis, Bendis, Derzelas and Kotys. Dacians, considered a part of the Getae tribes mentioned by Herodotus, were a branch of Thracians who inhabited Dacia (corresponding mostly to present-day Romania). He describes the Getae as "the most brave and honest amongst all Thracians". The Dacian kingdom reached its peak between 82–44 BC during the reign of Burebista.
Over the next century, relations between the Dacian tribes and Rome were relatively peaceful, however the ascent to the throne of Rome of emperor Domitian (81 AD) damaged relations between the Roman Empire and Dacia. He led military campaigns in the region between 87–88 AD at Tapae. Roman incursions continued in 101–102 AD and 105–106 AD under Trajan, who successfully defeated Dacia and annexed its south western parts to the vast Roman Empire. The Dacian population subsequently underwent the ethno-linguistic process of Romanization and the conquered parts became an imperial province.
Due to Dacia's rich ore deposits (especially gold and silver),[27] Rome brought colonists from all over the empire.[28] This introduced Vulgar Latin and started a period of intense romanization that would give birth to the Proto-Romanian language.[29][30] During the 3rd century AD, with the invasions of migratory populations, the Roman Empire was forced to pull out of Dacia around 271 AD, making it the first province to be abandoned.[31][32]
After the Roman army and administration left Dacia, the territory was invaded by various migratory populations including Goths,[33] Huns,[34] Gepids,[35] Avars,[36] Bulgars,[35] Pechenegs,[37] and Cumans.[38] Several competing theories have been generated to explain the origin of modern Romanians. Linguistic and geo-historical analysis tend to indicate that Romanians have coalesced as a major ethnic group both South and North of the Danube in the regions previously colonized by Romans.[39]
Middle Ages[link]
Main articles: Romania in the Early Middle Ages and Romania in the Middle Ages
Gesta Hungarorum, also known as the Chronicle of Anonymus, mentioned the existence of three voivodeships in Transylvania in the 9th century: the Voivodeship of Gelou, the Voivodeship of Glad (originally from Vidin, then inhabited by Proto-Romanians[citation needed]) and the Voivodeship of Menumorut. The anonymous author describes the first as Vlach.[40] Another voivodeship, ruled by Gyula[disambiguation needed 
], was mentioned in the 11th century. It was mentioned as being large and prosperous ("Jatissimum et opulentisimum").[citation needed] It is known to have included the strongholds of Dăbâca, Morești (on the Mureș River), Moigrad and Bălgrad (near Alba Iulia). Gyula was described as being an Orthodox Christian, therefore he was very probably either Romanian or Slav. A 1176 Slavonic inscription attests the existence of a župan Dimitri that ruled over Dobrogea in 943. In the Alexiad, Byzantine princess Anna Komnene mentioned the political entities led by Sesthlav, Satza and Tatos, all in Southern Dobrogea, in 1086.[41]
In the Middle Ages, Romanians lived in three distinct principalities: Wallachia (Romanian: Țara Românească – "Romanian Land"), Moldavia (Romanian: Moldova) and Transylvania (Romanian: Transilvania). By the 11th century, Transylvania became a largely autonomous part of the Kingdom of Hungary,[42] and became independent as the Principality of Transylvania from the 16th century,[43] until 1711.[44] In Wallachia and Moldavia many small local states with varying degrees of independence developed, but only in the 14th century did the larger principalities of Wallachia (1310) and Moldavia (around 1352) emerge to fight the threat of the Ottoman Empire. Both territories inhabited by Romanians have achieved the independence from the Hungarian Crown after military conflicts (Battle of Posada, 1330) or social conflicts (Moldavian boyars revolt against Hungary, 1364), these historical events being initiated by Basarab I of Wallachia (1310–1352) and Bogdan I of Moldavia (1359–1365).[45][46]
By 1541, the entire Balkan peninsula and most of Hungary became Ottoman provinces. Moldavia, Wallachia, and Transylvania were under Ottoman suzerainty, preserving partial-full internal autonomy until middle of the 19th century (Transylvania to 1699). During this period the Romanian lands were characterised by the slow disappearance of the feudal system. A few rulers of present-day Romanian territories distinguished themselves: these rulers include Stephen the Great, Vasile Lupu, and Dimitrie Cantemir in Moldavia; Matei Basarab, Vlad III the Impaler, and Constantin Brâncoveanu in Wallachia; and John Hunyadi (Ioannes Corvinus) and Gabriel Bethlen in Transylvania.[47]
In 1600, the principalities of Wallachia, Moldova and Transylvania were simultaneously headed by the Wallachian prince Michael the Brave (Mihai Viteazul), Ban of Oltenia, but the chance for a unity dissolved after Mihai was killed, only one year later, by the soldiers of Austrian army general Giorgio Basta. After his death, as vassal tributary states, Moldova and Wallachia had complete internal autonomy and external independence, which was finally lost in the 18th century. In 1699, Transylvania became a territory of the Habsburgs' Austrian empire following the Austrian victory over the Turks in the Great Turkish War. The Habsburgs in turn expanded their empire in 1718 to include an important part of Wallachia, called Oltenia (which was only returned in 1739) and in 1775 over the north-western part of Moldavia, later called Bukovina. The eastern half of the Moldavian principality (called Bessarabia) was occupied in 1812 by Russia.[47]
Independence and monarchy[link]
Main articles: Early Modern Romania, National awakening of Romania, Romanian Principalities, Romanian War of Independence, and Kingdom of Romania
During the period of Austro-Hungarian rule in Transylvania and Ottoman suzerainty over Wallachia and Moldavia, most Romanians were in the situation of being second-class citizens or even non-citizens[48] in a territory where they formed the majority of the population.[49][50] In some Transylvanian cities, such as Brașov (at that time a Saxon citadel) or Timişoara after the Austrian conquest, Romanians were not even allowed to reside within the city walls.[51]
Following the Wallachian uprising of 1821, more uprisings followed in 1848 in Wallachia as well as Moldavia. The flag adopted for Wallachia by the revolutionaries was a blue-yellow-red tricolour (with blue above, in line with the meaning “Liberty, Justice, Fraternity”),[52] while Romanian students in Paris hailed the new government with the same flag “as a symbol of union between Moldavians and Muntenians”.[53][54] This flag would later become the adopted as the flag of Romania. But after the failed 1848 Revolution, the Great Powers did not support the Romanians' expressed desire to officially unite in a single state, which forced Romania to proceed alone against the Ottomans. The electors in both Moldavia and Wallachia chose in 1859 the same person –Alexandru Ioan Cuza– as prince (Domnitor in Romanian).[55]
Thus, Romania was created as a personal union, albeit without including Transylvania. There, the upper class and the aristocracy remained mainly Hungarian and enjoyed strong support from Austria, and the establishment of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy in 1867 kept the Hungarians firmly in control as the Romanians were by far the most numerous ethnic Transylvanian group and constituted the absolute majority.
In a 1866 coup d'état, Cuza was exiled and replaced by Prince Karl of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, who became known as Prince Carol of Romania. During the Russo-Turkish War Romania fought on the Russian side,[56] and in the Treaty of San Stefano and the Treaty of Berlin, Romania was recognized as an independent state by the Ottoman Empire and the Great Powers.[57][58] In return, Romania ceded three southern districts of Bessarabia to Russia and acquired Dobruja. In 1881, the principality was raised to a kingdom and Prince Carol became King Carol I.[citation needed]
The 1878–1914 period was one of stability and progress for Romania. During the Second Balkan War, Romania joined Greece, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey against Bulgaria, and in the peace Treaty of Bucharest (1913) Romania gained Southern Dobrudja.[59]
World Wars and Greater Romania[link]
In August 1914, when World War I broke out, Romania declared neutrality. Two years later, under pressure from the Allies (especially France, desperate to open a new front), on 27 August 1916, Romania joined the Allies, declaring war on Austria-Hungary. For this action, under the terms of the secret military convention, Romania was promised support for its goal of national unity for all Romanian people.[60]
The Romanian military campaign began disastrously for Romania as the Central Powers conquered two-thirds of the country within months. Nevertheless, Moldavia remained in Romanian hands and the invading forces were stopped in 1917, when Romania won a series of resounding defensive victories at Marasesti, Marasti and Oituz. Total deaths from 1914 to 1918, military and civilian, within contemporary borders, were estimated at 748,000.[61] By the war's end, Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire had collapsed and disintegrated; Bessarabia, Bukovina and Transylvania proclaimed unions with the Kingdom of Romania in 1918. By the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, Hungary was forced to renounce in favour of Romania all the claims of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy over Transylvania.[62] The union of Romania with Bukovina was ratified in 1919 in the Treaty of Saint Germain,[63] and with Bessarabia in 1920 by the Treaty of Paris.[64]
The Romanian expression România Mare (literal translation "Great Romania", but more commonly rendered "Greater Romania"), generally refers to the Romanian state in the interwar period, and by extension, to the territory Romania covered at the time. Romania achieved at that time its greatest territorial extent (almost 300,000 km2/120,000 sq mi),[65] managing to unite essentially all of the territories inhabited by Romanians.[65]
During the Second World War, Romania tried again to remain neutral, but on 28 June 1940, it received a Soviet ultimatum with an implied threat of invasion in the event of non-compliance.[66] Under Nazi and Soviet pressure, the Romanian administration and the army were forced to retreat from Bessarabia as well from northern Bukovina to avoid war.[67] This, in combination with other factors, prompted the government to join the Axis. Thereafter, southern Dobruja was ceded to Bulgaria, while Hungary received Northern Transylvania as result of an Axis arbitration.[68] The authoritarian King Carol II abdicated in 1940, and succeeded by the National Legionary State, in which power was shared by Ion Antonescu and the Iron Guard. Within months, Antonescu had crushed the Iron Guard, and the subsequent year Romania entered the war on the side of the Axis powers. During the war, Romania was the most important source of oil for Nazi Germany,[69] which attracted multiple bombing raids by the Allies. By means of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, Romania recovered Bessarabia and northern Bukovina from Soviet Russia, under the leadership of general Ion Antonescu. The Antonescu regime played a major role in the Holocaust,[70] following to a lesser extent the Nazi policy of oppression and massacre of the Jews, and Romma, primarily in the Eastern territories Romania recovered or occupied from the Soviet Union (Transnistria) and in Moldavia.[71] Jewish holocaust victims totaled at least 280,000 and 11,000 Romani victims.[72]
In August 1944, Antonescu was toppled and arrested by King Michael I of Romania and Romania changed sides and joined the Allies. But its role in the defeat of Nazi Germany was not recognized by the Paris Peace Conference of 1947;[73] even though the Romanian Army had suffered 170,000 casualties after switching sides.[74]
Communism[link]
Main article: Communist Romania
During the Soviet occupation of Romania, the Communist-dominated government called new elections, which were won with 80% of the vote.[75] They thus rapidly established themselves as the dominant political force.[76] In 1947, the Communists forced King Michael I to abdicate and leave the country, and proclaimed Romania a people's republic.[77][78] Romania remained under the direct military occupation and economic control of the USSR until the late 1950s. During this period, Romania's vast natural resources were continuously drained by mixed Soviet-Romanian companies (SovRoms) set up for exploitative purposes.[79][80][81]
In 1948, the state began to nationalize private firms, and to collectivize agriculture the following year.[82] From the late 1940s to the early 1960s, the Communist government established a reign of terror, carried out mainly through the Securitate (the new secret police). During this time they launched several campaigns to eliminate "enemies of the state", in which numerous individuals were killed or imprisoned for political or economic reasons.[83] Punishment included deportation, internal exile, and internment in forced labour camps and prisons; dissent was vigorously suppressed. A notorious experiment in this period took place in the Pitești prison, where a group of political opponents were put into a program of reeducation through torture. Historical records show hundreds of thousands of abuses, deaths and incidents of torture against a wide range of people, from political opponents to ordinary citizens.[84] Nevertheless, Romanian armed opposition to communist rule was one of the longest-lasting in the Eastern Bloc.[85]
In 1965, Nicolae Ceaușescu came to power and started to pursue independent policies, such as being the only Warsaw Pact country to condemn the Soviet-led 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, maintaining diplomatic relations with Israel after the Six-Day War of 1967 and establishing diplomatic relations with West Germany the same year, economic links having been set up in 1963.[86] Also, close ties with the Arab countries (and the PLO) allowed Romania to play a key role in the Israel–Egypt and Israel–PLO peace processes.[87] But as Romania's foreign debt sharply increased between 1977 and 1981 (from 3 to 10 billion US dollars),[88] the influence of international financial organisations such as the IMF or the World Bank grew, conflicting with Nicolae Ceaușescu's autocratic policies. He eventually initiated a project of total reimbursement of the foreign debt by imposing policies that impoverished Romanians and exhausted the Romanian economy, while also greatly extending the authority of the police state, and imposing a cult of personality. Although these led to a dramatic decrease in Ceaușescu's popularity and culminated in his overthrow and execution in the bloody Romanian Revolution of 1989, by that time Romania's foreign debt was almost completely paid-off.
A 2006 Presidential Commission for the Study of the Communist Dictatorship in Romania estimated that the number of direct victims[clarification needed] of communist repression at two million people. This number does not include people who died in liberty as a result of their treatment in communist prisons, nor does it include people who died because of the dire economic circumstances in which the country found itself.[89][90]
Present-day democracy[link]
Main articles: History of Romania since 1989 and 2007 enlargement of the European Union
After the revolution, the National Salvation Front (NSF), led by Ion Iliescu, took partial multi-party democratic and free market measures.[91][92] Several major political parties of the pre-war era were resurrected. After major political rallies, in April 1990, a sit-in protest contesting the results of the recently held parliamentary elections began in University Square, Bucharest, accusing the NSF of being made up of former Communists and members of the Securitate. The protesters called the election undemocratic and asked for the exclusion from political life of former high-ranking Communist Party members, such as Iliescu himself. The protest rapidly grew to become what president Iliescu called the Golaniad. The peaceful demonstrations degenerated into violence, prompting the intervention of coal miners, summoned by Iliescu in June 1990, from the Jiu Valley. This episode has been documented widely by both local[93] and foreign media,[94] and is remembered as the June 1990 Mineriad.[95][96]
The subsequent disintegration of the Front produced several political parties including the Social Democratic Party, the Democratic Party and the Alliance for Romania. The former governed Romania from 1990 until 1996 through several coalitions and governments with Ion Iliescu as head of state. Since then there have been several democratic changes of government: in 1996 the democratic-liberal opposition and its leader Emil Constantinescu acceded to power; in 2000 the Social Democrats returned to power, with Iliescu once again president; and in 2004 Traian Băsescu was elected president, with an electoral coalition called Justice and Truth Alliance. Băsescu was narrowly re-elected in 2009.[97]

Post–Cold War Romania developed closer ties with Western Europe, eventually joining NATO in 2004, and hosting the 2008 summit in Bucharest.[98] The country applied in June 1993 for membership in the European Union and became an Associated State of the EU in 1995, an Acceding Country in 2004, and a member on 1 January 2007.[99] Following the free travel agreement and politics of the post–Cold War period, as well as hardship of the life in the 1990s economic depression, Romania has an increasingly large diaspora, estimated at over 2 million people. The main emigration targets are Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.[100]
During the 2000s, Romania enjoyed one of the highest economic growth rates in Europe and has been referred to as "the Tiger of Eastern Europe."[101] This has been accompanied by a significant improvement in human development.[102] The country has been successful in reducing internal poverty and establishing a functional democracy.[103] However, Romania's development suffered a major setback during the late-2000s recession as a large gross domestic product contraction and a large budget deficit in 2009 led to Romania borrowing heavily,[104] eventually becoming the largest debtor to the International Monetary Fund in 2010.[105] Romania still faces issues related to infrastructure,[106] medical services,[107] education,[108] and corruption.[109]
Geography[link]
Main article: Geography of Romania
With a surface area of 238,391 square kilometres (92,043 sq mi), Romania is the largest country in southeastern Europe and the twelfth-largest in Europe.[110] It lies between latitudes 43° and 49° N, and longitudes 20° and 30° E.
Romania's terrain is distributed roughly equally between mountainous, hilly and lowland territories. The Carpathian Mountains dominate the centre of Romania, with 14 mountain ranges reaching above 2,000 m/6,600 ft, and the highest point at Moldoveanu Peak (2,544 m/8,346 ft).[110] These are surrounded by the Moldavian and Transylvanian plateaus and Pannonian and Wallachian plains. Romania's geographical diversity has led to an accompanying diversity of flora and fauna.[110]
A large part of Romania's border with Serbia and Bulgaria is formed by the Danube. The Prut River, one of its major tributaries, forms the border with the Republic of Moldova.[110] The Danube flows into the Black Sea within Romania's territory forming the Danube Delta, the second largest and best preserved delta in Europe, and also a biosphere reserve and a biodiversity World Heritage Site.[111] Other major rivers are the Siret (596 km), the Olt (614 km), the Prut (742 km), the Someș (388 km), and the Mureș (761 km).[110]
Lakes and lake complexes have a low share throughout Romania, occupying only 1.1% of total land area. The largest lake complex in size is Razelm-Sinoe (731 km²), located on the Black Sea seaside. Glacial lakes exist in the Făgăraș Mountains, a result of quaternary glaciation, of which the largest are: Lake Avrig (14,700 m²), Bâlea Lake (46,500 m²), Capra Lake (18,000 m²), etc. Other notable lakes are Lake Sfânta Ana, the only volcanic lake in Romania, and Red Lake, a natural dam lake, both situated in Harghita County.[112]
Climate[link]
Main article: Climate of Romania
Owing to its distance from the open sea and position on the southeastern portion of the European continent, Romania has a climate that is transitional between temperate and continental, with four distinct seasons. The average annual temperature is 11 °C (52 °F) in the south and 8 °C (46 °F) in the north.[113] The extreme recorded temperatures were 44.5 °C (112.1 °F) at Ion Sion in 1951 and −38.5 °C (−37.3 °F) at Bod in 1942.[114]
Spring is pleasant with cool mornings and nights and warm days. Summers are generally very warm to hot, with summer (June to August) average maximum temperatures in Bucharest rising to 28 °C (82 °F), and temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) fairly common in the lower-lying areas of the country. Minima in Bucharest and other lower-lying areas are around 16 °C (61 °F). Autumn is dry and cool, with fields and trees producing colorful foliage. Winters can be cold, with average maxima even in lower-lying areas reaching no more than 2 °C (36 °F) and below −15 °C (5 °F) in the highest mountains.[115] Precipitation is average with over 750 mm (30 in) per year only on the highest western mountains—much of it falling as snow, which allows for an extensive skiing industry. In the south-central parts of the country (around Bucharest) the level of precipitation drops to around 600 mm (24 in),[116] while in the Danube Delta, rainfall levels are very low, and average only around 370 mm.
Because of Romania's geographic location, respectively the regional orographic peculiarities, there exists a varied range of local winds. Humid winds from the northwest are most common, but often the drier winds from the northeast are strongest. A hot southwesterly wind, the austru (cf. lat. Auster), blows over western Romania, particularly in summer. In winter, cold and dense air masses encircle the eastern portions of the country, with the cold northeasterly known as the crivăț blowing in from the Russian Plain, and oceanic air masses from the Azores, in the west, bring rain and mitigate the severity of the cold. Other wind types present locally are nemirul, black wind, foehn, băltărețul, zephyr, cosava etc. Romania enjoys four seasons, though there is a rapid transition from winter to summer. Autumn is frequently longer, with dry warm weather from September to late November.[117]
Natural environment[link]
A high percentage (47% of the land area) of the country is covered with natural and semi-natural ecosystems.[118] Since almost half of all forests in Romania (13% of the country) have been managed for watershed conservation rather than production, Romania has one of the largest areas of undisturbed forest in Europe.[118] The integrity of Romanian forest ecosystems is indicated by the presence of the full range of European forest fauna, including 60% and 40% of all European brown bears and wolves, respectively.[119] There are also almost 400 unique species of mammals (of which Carpathian chamois are best known[citation needed]), birds, reptiles and amphibians in Romania.[120] The fauna consists of 33,792 species of animals, 33,085 invertebrate and 707 vertebrate.[121]
Some 3,700 plant species have been identified in the country, from which to date 23 have been declared natural monuments, 74 missing, 39 endangered, 171 vulnerable and 1,253 rare.[121] The three major vegetation areas in Romania are the alpine zone, the forest zone and the steppe zone. The vegetation is distributed in a storied manner in accordance with the characteristics of soil and climate and includes various species of oaks, sycamores, beeches, spruces, firs, willows, poplars, meadows, and pines.[122][123]
There are almost 10,000 km2 (3,900 sq mi) (about 5% of the total area) of protected areas in Romania covering 13 national parks and three biosphere reserves: the Danube Delta, Retezat National Park, and Rodna National Park.[124] The Danube Delta Reserve Biosphere is the largest and least damaged wetland complex in Europe, covering a total area of 5,800 km2 (2,200 sq mi).[125] The significance of the biodiversity of the Danube Delta has been internationally recognised. It was declared a Biosphere Reserve in September 1990, a Ramsar site in May 1991, and over 50% of its area was placed on the World Heritage List in December 1991.[126] Within its boundaries lies one of the most extensive reed bed systems in the world.[127]

Administrative divisions[link]
Main article: Administrative divisions of Romania
Romania is divided into 41 counties and the municipality of Bucharest. Each county is administered by a county council, responsible for local affairs, as well as a prefect responsible for the administration of national affairs at the county level. The prefect is appointed by the central government but cannot be a member of any political party.[128]
Each county is further subdivided into cities and communes, which have their own mayor and local council. There are a total of 319 cities and 2,686 communes in Romania.[129] A total of 103 of the larger cities have municipality statuses, which gives them greater administrative power over local affairs. The municipality of Bucharest is a special case as it enjoys a status on par to that of a county. It is further divided into six sectors and has a prefect, a general mayor, and a general city council.[129]
The NUTS-3 (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) level divisions of European Union reflect Romania's administrative-territorial structure, and correspond to the 41 counties plus Bucharest.[130] The cities and communes correspond to the NUTS-5 level divisions, but there are no current NUTS-4 level divisions. The NUTS-1 (four macroregions) and NUTS-2 (eight development regions) divisions exist but have no administrative capacity, and are instead used for coordinating regional development projects and statistical purposes .[130]

Logo of the Government of Romania
The Constitution of Romania is based on the Constitution of France's Fifth Republic[131] and was approved in a national referendum on 8 December 1991.[131] A plebiscite held in October 2003 approved 79 amendments to the Constitution, bringing it into conformity with European Union legislation.[131] The country is governed on the basis of multi-party democratic system and of the segregation of the legislative, executive and judicial powers.[131] Romania is a semi-presidential republic where executive functions are held by both government and the president. The president is elected by popular vote for a maximum of two terms, and since the amendments in 2003, each term lasts five years.[131] He appoints the prime minister, who in turn appoints the Council of Ministers (based at Victoria Palace).[131] The legislative branch of the government, collectively known as the Parliament (residing at the Palace of the Parliament), consists of two chambers – the Senate with 140 members, and the Chamber of Deputies with 346 members.[131] The members of both chambers are elected every four years under a system of party-list proportional representation.[131]
The justice system is independent of the other branches of government, and is made up of a hierarchical system of courts culminating in the High Court of Cassation and Justice, which is the supreme court of Romania.[132] There are also courts of appeal, county courts and local courts. The Romanian judicial system is strongly influenced by the French model,[131][133] considering that it is based on civil law and is inquisitorial in nature. The Constitutional Court (Curtea Constituțională) is responsible for judging the compliance of laws and other state regulations to the Romanian Constitution, which is the fundamental law of the country. The constitution, which was introduced in 1991, can be amended by only a public referendum, the last of which took place in 2003. Since this amendment, the court's decisions cannot be overruled by any majority of the parliament.
The country's entry into the European Union in 2007[134] has been a significant influence on its domestic policy. As part of the process, Romania has instituted reforms including judicial reform, increased judicial cooperation with other member states, and measures to combat corruption. Nevertheless, in 2006 Brussels report, Romania and Bulgaria were described as the two most corrupt countries in the EU,[135] and Romania was ranked, together with Bulgaria and Greece, as the most corrupt EU country by Transparency International in 2009.[104]
Foreign relations[link]
Main article: Foreign relations of Romania
.JPG)
Since December 1989, Romania has pursued a policy of strengthening relations with the West in general, more specifically with the United States and the European Union. It joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) on 29 March 2004, the European Union (EU) on 1 January 2007, while it had joined the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in 1972, and is a founding member of the World Trade Organization.[136]
The current government has stated its goal of strengthening ties with and helping other Eastern European countries (in particular Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia) with the process of integration with the West.[137] Romania has also made clear since the late 1990s that it supports NATO and EU membership for the democratic former Soviet republics in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.[137] Romania also declared its public support for Turkey, and Croatia joining the European Union.[137] With Turkey, Romania shares a privileged economic relation.[138] Because it has a large Hungarian minority, Romania has also developed strong relations with Hungary. Romania opted on 1 January 2007, to adhere the Schengen Area, an area of free movement in Europe that comprises the territories of twenty-five European countries. Romania's bid to join the Schengen Area was approved by the European Parliament in June 2011 and is currently being considered by the Council of Ministers. Prospective implementation date is May 2012, following that to Romania will be conferred the relapse to international travel with border controls for travellers circulating in and out of the area, but with no internal border controls.[139]
In December 2005, President Traian Băsescu and United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice signed an agreement that would allow a U.S. military presence at several Romanian facilities primarily in the eastern part of the country.[140] In May 2009, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that "Romania is one of the most trustworthy and respectable partners of the USA" during a visit of the Romanian foreign minister.[141]
Relations with Moldova are a special case, considering that the two countries practically share the same language, and a fairly common historical background.[137] A movement for unification of Romania and Moldova appeared in the early 1990s after both countries achieved emancipation from communist rule,[142] but lost ground in the mid-1990s when a new Moldovan government pursued an agenda towards preserving a Moldovan republic independent of Romania.[143] Romania remains interested in Moldovan affairs and has officially rejected the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact,[142] but the two countries have been unable so far to reach agreement on a basic bilateral treaty.[144] After the 2009 protests in Moldova and subsequent removal of Communists from power, relations between the two countries have improved considerably.[145] On May 3, 2011, after the stabilisation of the Moldovan political situation, the Romanian prime - minister M.R. Ungureanu and the Moldovan premier Vladimir Filat held a joint governmment meeting in Iași, where they signed 8 bilateral strategic military and economic agreements.
Military[link]
Main article: Romanian Armed Forces
See also: Military history of Romania
The Romanian Armed Forces consist of Land, Air, and Naval Forces, and are led by a Commander-in-chief who is managed by the Ministry of Defense. The president is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces during wartime. Of the 90,000 men and women that comprise the Armed Forces, approximately 15,000 are civilians and 75,000 are military personnel—45,800 for land, 13,250 for air, 6,800 for naval forces, and 8,800 in other fields.[146] The total defence spending in 2007 accounted for 2.05% of total national GDP, or approximately US$2.9 billion (39th in the world), and a total of about 11 billion were spent between 2006 and 2011 for modernization and acquisition of new equipment.[147]
The Land Forces have overhauled their equipment in the past few years, and are actively participating in the War in Afghanistan.[148] The Air Force currently operates modernized Soviet MiG-21 LanceR fighters which are due to be replaced by new fighters by 2013, according to present plans. However due to poor economical conditions this may change.[149] The Air Force purchased seven new C-27J Spartan tactical airlift to replace the bulk of the old transport force.[150] Two modernized Type 22 frigates were acquired by the Naval Forces in 2004 from the Royal Navy, and a further four modern missile corvettes have been commissioned by 2010.[151]
Romanian troops participated in the occupation of Iraq, reaching a peak of 730 soldiers before being slowly drawn down to 350 soldiers. Romania terminated its mission in Iraq and withdrew its last troops on 24 July 2009, among the last countries to do so. Romania currently has some 1,900 troops deployed in Afghanistan.[152]
Social welfare[link]
Main article: Social welfare in Romania
The unemployment rate in Romania has been relatively low in recent years and stand at around 5% in 2011.[153]
In the late 2000s nearly 10 percent of the population was in absolute poverty[154] and of these, 90% live in rural areas.
A set of reforming programs has been started in 1999 introducing private health insurance. The pension system was also reformed.[155][156][157] The state-run health care system is free, but suffers from neglect and has deteriorated in recent years due to lack of funding and underpaid staff. In many cases, the patients are bribing the clinic or hospital staff to get better treatment. There is evidence to suggest that a patient's wealth plays an important role in how they receive medical treatment.[158]
By the first quarter of 2011 the average monthly household income is 2,318 lei (equivalent to approximately $862). The difference between countryside and urban area may vary; the income is 36 per-cent higher in the urban area than in the countryside.[159]
The average monthly pension in Romania in 2010 was 734 lei, or €170.[160] The current low average retirement age (55 years for men and 57 years for women) will be gradually increased until 2014 to 60 years for women and 65 years for men.[161]
Many of the Romanian Romani people have no identity cards [162] and are therefore excluded from the social benefit systems,[163] schools and health care.[164]
Economy[link]
Main article: Economy of Romania
Further information: List of Romanian companies
With a GDP of around $267 billion and a GDP per capita (PPP) of $12,476 for the year 2011, Romania is an upper-middle income country economy[165] and has been part of the European Union since 1 January 2007.
After the Communist regime was overthrown in late 1989, the country experienced a decade of economic instability and decline, led in part by an obsolete industrial base and a lack of structural reform. From 2000 onwards, however, the Romanian economy was transformed into one of relative macroeconomic stability, characterised by high growth, low unemployment and declining inflation. In 2006, according to the Romanian Statistics Office, GDP growth in real terms was recorded at 7.7%, one of the highest rates in Europe.[166] Growth dampened to 6.1% in 2007,[167] but was expected to exceed 8% in 2008 because of a high production forecast in agriculture (30–50% higher than in 2007). The GDP grew by 8.9% in the first nine months of 2008, but growth fell to 2.9% in the fourth quarter and stood at 7.1% for the whole 2008 because of the financial crisis.[168] Thereafter, the country fell into a recession in 2009 and 2010, where the GDP contracted −7.1% and −1.3% respectively. It is estimated by the IMF that the GDP will grow again by 1.5% in 2011 and 4.4% in 2012.[169]
According to Eurostat data, the Romanian PPS GDP per capita stood at 46% of the EU average in 2010.[170] In March 2012, the net average monthly wage in the country was $467 - one of the lowest in the EU. Inflation in 2010 was 6.1%.[169] Unemployment in Romania was at 7.6% in 2010,[169] which is very low compared to other middle-sized or large European countries such as Poland, France and Spain. General government gross debt is also comparatively low, at 34.8% of GDP.[171] Exports have increased substantially in the past few years, with a 13% annual rise in exports in 2010. Romania's main exports are cars, software, clothing and textiles, industrial machinery, electrical and electronic equipment, metallurgic products, raw materials, military equipment, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and agricultural products (fruits, vegetables, and flowers). Trade is mostly centred on the member states of the European Union, with Germany and Italy being the country's single largest trading partners. The current account balance in 2010 held a deficit of $6.842 billion.[169]
After a series of privatisations and reforms in the late 1990s and 2000s (decade), government intervention in the Romanian economy is somewhat lower than in other European economies.[172] In 2005, the government replaced Romania's progressive tax system with a flat tax of 16% for both personal income and corporate profit, resulting in the country having one of the lowest fiscal burdens in the European Union,[173] a factor which has contributed to the growth of the private sector. The economy is predominantly based on services, which account for 51.2% of GDP, even though industry and agriculture also have significant contributions, making up 36% and 12.8% of GDP, respectively. Additionally, 29.6% of the Romanian population was employed in 2006 in agriculture and primary production, one of the highest rates in Europe.[171]
Since 2000, Romania has attracted increasing amounts of foreign investment, becoming the single largest investment destination in Southeastern and Central Europe. Foreign direct investment was valued at €8.3 billion in 2006.[174] According to a 2011 World Bank report, Romania currently ranks 72nd out of 175 economies in the ease of doing business, scoring lower than other countries in the region such as the Czech Republic.[175] Additionally, a study in 2006 judged it to be the world's second-fastest economic reformer (after Georgia).[176]
During the first quarter of 2011 the average monthly household income was 2,318 Romanian lei, equating to approximately $867 based on international exchange rates, and $1170 based on purchasing power parity.[177] In 2009 the Romanian economy contracted as a result of the global economic downturn. Gross domestic product contracted 7.2% in the fourth quarter of 2009 from the same period a year earlier,[178] and the budget deficit for 2009 reached 7.2% of GDP.[179] Industrial output growth however reached 6.9% year-on-year in December 2009, the highest in the EU-27.[180]
Transport[link]
Main article: Transport in Romania
All transportation infrastructure in Romania is the property of the state, and is administered by the Ministry of Transports, Constructions and Tourism, except when operated as a concession, in which case the concessions are made by the Ministry of Administration and Interior.[181]
According to CIA Factbook, Romania total road network is estimated to be 81,713 km long (excluding urban areas), out of which 66,632 km are paved and 15,081 km (2009) are unpaved.[182] The World Bank estimates that the road network that is outside of cities and communes (i.e. excluding streets and village roads) is about 78,000 km long.[181] There are plans to build a 2,262.7 km-long motorway system, consisting of six main motorways and six bypass motorways, as of 2011, 371.5 km are built and 845 km have construction contracts under way.[183]
Due to its location, Romania is a major crossroad for international economic exchange in Europe. However, because of insufficient investment, maintenance and repair, the transport infrastructure does not meet the current needs of a market economy and lags behind Western Europe.[184] Nevertheless, these conditions are rapidly improving and catching up with the standards of Trans-European transport networks. Several projects have been started with funding from grants from ISPA and several loans from International Financial Institutions (World Bank, IMF, etc.) guaranteed by the state, to upgrade the main road corridors. Also, the Government is actively pursuing new external financing or public-private partnerships to further upgrade the main roads, and especially the country's motorway network.[184]

Romania has a relatively well-developed airport infrastructure compared to other countries in Eastern Europe, but still underdeveloped compared to Western European standards. There are 17 commercial airports in service today, most of them opened for international traffic. Five of the airports (OTP, BBU, TSR, CND, SBZ) have runways of over 3,000 m in length and are capable of handling wide-body aircraft. Three of the airports (BCM, CRA, SUJ) have runways of 2,500 m in length, while the rest of them have runways of 1,800 to 2,000 m. As of December 2006, TCE and CSB are the only airports with no regular flights. Almost all the airports have experienced traffic growth in the last 4 years.
The World Bank estimates that the railway network in Romania comprised 22,298 kilometres (13,855 mi) of track in 2004, which would make it the fourth largest railroad network in Europe.[185] The railway transport experienced a dramatic fall in freight and passenger volumes from the peak volumes recorded in 1989 mainly due to the decline in GDP and competition from road transport. In 2004, the railways carried 8.64 billion passenger-km in 99 million passenger journeys, and 73 million metric tonnes, or 17 billion ton-km of freight.[131] The combined total transportation by rail constituted around 45% of all passenger and freight movement in the country.[131]
Bucharest is the only city in Romania which has an underground railway system. The Bucharest Metro was opened in 16 November 1979 and is now one of the most accessed systems of the Bucharest public transport network with an average ridership of 600,000 passengers during the workweek. Currently, the Bucharest Metro measures 61.41 km lengthwise and includes five metro lines, one proposed and one under construction.[186]
Romania has 16 international airports, of which the busiest are Henri Coandă International Airport (4,917,952 passengers, 2010) and Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (2,118,150 passengers, 2010). Also, Romania disposes of an unworkable international airport (Caransebeș Airport) and 16 under construction or planned airports, whose construction will be completed until 2020. Romania has about 200 flight corridors, as much as any other European country. The air traffic has doubled in the last 20 years, in summer of 2010, Romania was crossed by 150 aircrafts simultaneously, bringing considerable incomes to TAROM airline. As of May 2011, TAROM flies to 47 destinations (including the seasonal destinations), such as: Cairo, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Vienna, Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Athens, Budapest, Rome, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid, Istanbul and London.[187]
Tourism[link]
Main article: Tourism in Romania
Tourism focuses on the country's natural landscapes and its rich history and is a significant contributor to the Romanian economy. In 2006, domestic and international tourism generated about 4.8% of gross domestic product and 5.8% of the total jobs (about half a million jobs).[188] Following commerce, tourism is the second largest component of the services sector. Tourism is one of the most dynamic and fastest developing sectors of the economy of Romania and is characterized by a huge potential for development.
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, Romania is the fourth fastest growing country in the world in terms of travel and tourism total demand, with a yearly potential growth of 8% from 2007 to 2016.[189] The number of tourists grew from 4.8 million in 2002 to 6.6 million in 2004.[131] Similarly, the revenues grew from 400 million[clarification needed] in 2002 to 607 in 2004.[131] In 2006, Romania registered 20 million overnight stays by international tourists, an all-time record,[190] but the number for 2007 is expected to increase even more.[clarification needed][191] Tourism in Romania attracted €400 million in investments in 2005.[192]
Over the last years, Romania has emerged as a popular tourist destination for many Europeans (more than 60% of the foreign visitors in 2007 were from EU countries),[191] thus attempting to compete with Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Spain. Destinations such as Mangalia, Saturn, Venus, Neptun, Olimp, Constanța and Mamaia (sometimes called the Romanian Riviera) are among the most popular attractions during summer.[193] During winter, the skiing resorts along the Valea Prahovei and Poiana Brașov are popular with foreign visitors.
For their medieval atmosphere and castles, Transylvanian cities such as Sibiu, Brașov, Sighișoara, Cluj-Napoca, Târgu Mureș or Miercurea-Ciuc have become major tourist attractions for foreigners. Rural tourism, focusing on folklore and traditions, has become an important alternative recently,[194] and is targeted to promote such sites as Bran and its Dracula's Castle, the Painted churches of Northern Moldavia, the Wooden churches of Maramureș and Sălaj, or the Merry Cemetery in Maramureș County (at Săpânța).[195] Other major natural attractions, such as the Danube Delta,[131] the Iron Gates (Danube Gorge), Scărișoara Cave and several other caves in the Apuseni Mountains have yet to receive great attention.
In terms of tourism potential, Romania benefits from splendid cities, scattered on the smooth plains or high peaks. These include Sibiu, a city built by Saxons, with cobblestone streets and colorful houses. The Hunyad Castle, one of the most important monuments of Gothic architecture in Transylvania, can be visited in the picturesque city of Hunedoara. Also, resorts such as Băile Felix, Băile Herculane and Băile Tușnad are points of interest for local and foreign tourists.[196] The Romanian seaside is the most developed tourist area of Romania. In 2009, Romania's Black Sea seaside was visited by 1.3 million tourists, of whom 40,000 were foreign.[197] The shore is very varied, formed by slightly wavy shapes, with emphasized capes and deep bays extending into the Dobrogea valleys, with cliffs, beaches and sand cords. In Târgu Jiu one can see the sculptures of Constantin Brâncuși (1876–1957), a Romanian sculptor with overwhelming contributions to the renewal of plastic language and vision in contemporary sculpture.[198] These include The Endless Column, The Gate of the Kiss and The Table of Silence, which together represent the three parts of a monumental sculptural ensemble.[199]
Science and technology[link]
Main article: Science and technology in Romania
During the 1990s and 2000s (decade), the development of Romanian science was hampered by several factors, including corruption, low funding and a considerable brain drain.[200] However, since the country's accession to the European Union, this has begun to change. After being slashed by 50% in 2009 due to the global recession, R&D spending was increased by 44% in 2010 and now stands at $0.5 billion (1.5 billion lei).[201] In January 2011, the Parliament also passed a law that enforces "strict quality control on universities and introduces tough rules for funding evaluation and peer review".[202] The country has joined or is about to join several major international organizations such as CERN and the European Space Agency.[203][204] Overall, the situation has been characterized as "rapidly improving", albeit from a low base.[205]
Historically, Romanian researches and inventors have made notable contributions to several fields, such as: aeronautics, medicine, mathematics, computer science/engineering, physics, biophysics, chemistry, biochemistry and biology. In the history of flight, Traian Vuia and Aurel Vlaicu built and flew some of the earliest successful aircraft. Also, Henri Coandă discovered the Coandă effect of fluidics. Preceding him, Elie Carafoli was a pioneering contributor to the field of aerodynamics in the world.
Victor Babeș discovered more than 50 germs and a cure for a disease named after him, babesiosis; biologist Nicolae Paulescu discovered insulin. Another biologist, Emil Palade, received the Nobel Prize for his contributions to cell biology. George Constantinescu created the theory of sonics, while Lazăr Edeleanu was the first chemist to synthesize amphetamine and also invented the modern method of refining crude oil. Costin Nenițescu found new methods for the synthesis of pirilium salts, of carbenes, tryptamine, serotonin, two new syntheses for the indole nucleus, and a new method of polymerisation of ethylene.
Several mathematicians distinguished themselves as well, among them: Gheorghe Țițeica, Spiru Haret, Grigore Moisil, Miron Nicolescu, Nicolae Popescu and Ștefan Odobleja; the latter is also regarded as the ideological father behind cybernetics.
Notable physicists and inventors also include: Horia Hulubei in atomic physics, Șerban Țițeica in theoretical physics, Mihai Gavrilă specialized in quantum theory and discoverer of the atomic dichotomy phenomenon, Alexandru Proca (known for the first meson theory of nuclear forces and Proca's equations of the vectorial mesonic field), Ștefan Procopiu known for the first theory of the magnetic moment of the electron in 1911 (now known as the Bohr-Procopiu magneton), Theodor V. Ionescu, the inventor of a multiple-cavity magnetron (1935), a hydrogen maser in 1947, 3D imaging for cinema/television in 1924 and hot deuterium plasma studies for controlled nuclear fusion, Ionel Solomon known for the nuclear magnetic resonance theory in solids, Solomon equations[206][207] and photovoltaic devices, Petrache Poenaru, Nicolae Teclu and Victor Toma, with the latter known for the invention and construction of the first Romanian computer, the CIFA-1 in 1955.[208]
The nuclear physics facility of the European Union's proposed Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) laser will be built in Romania.[209] Romania currently has 1,400 MW of nuclear power capacity by means of one active nuclear power plant (Cernavodă) with 2 reactors, which constitutes around 18% of the national power generation capacity of the country. This makes Romania the 23rd largest user of nuclear power in the world.

According to provisional data from 2011 census, Romania's population is 19,042,936.[2] Like other countries in the region, its population is expected to gradually decline in the coming years as a result of sub-replacement fertility rates. In October 2011 Romanians made up 88.6% of the population. The largest ethnic minorities are the Hungarians, who make up 6.5% of the population and Gypsies, who make up 3.2% of the population.[note 4][210]
Hungarians constitute a majority in the counties of Harghita and Covasna. Ukrainians, Germans, Lipovans, Turks, Tatars, Serbs, Slovaks, Bulgarians, Croats, Greeks, Russians, Jews, Czechs, Poles, Italians, Armenians, as well as other ethnic groups, account for the remaining 1.4% of the population.[211]
In 1930, there were 745,421 Germans in Romania,[212] but only about 36,884 remain today, according to the 2011 census.[213] In 1924, there were 796,056 Jews in the Kingdom of Romania.[214] The number of Romanians and individuals with ancestors born in Romania living abroad is estimated at around 12 million.[100] As of 2009, there were also approximately 133,000 immigrants living in Romania,[102] primarily from Moldova, Turkey and China.
The fertility rate is decreasing, with 1.4 births per woman recorded in 2009. The birth rate (10.61‰, 2008) is slightly lower than the mortality rate (11.84‰, 2008), resulting in a shrinking and aging population, approx. 14.8% of total population having 65 years and over.[215][216]
The number of all Romanians abroad is estimated at about 4-12 million people (incl. of mixed origin). After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, a significant number of Romanians emigrated into the EU countries and other countries from North America or Asia, inasmuch as better working conditions and various study possibilities given by other countries.
Languages[link]
Main article: Romanian language
The official language of Romania is Romanian, a Romance language related to Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan, and Portuguese. Romanian is spoken as a first language by 91% of the population. Hungarian and Vlax Romani are the most important minority languages, spoken by 6.7% and 1.1% of the population, respectively.[211] Until the early 1990s, there were also a substantial number of German-speaking Transylvanian Saxons, even though most have since emigrated to Germany, leaving only 45,000 native German speakers in Romania. There are approximately 32,000 Turkish speakers in Romania.[217]
In localities where a given ethnic minority makes up more than 20% of the population, that minority's language can be used in the public administration and justice system, while native-language education and signage is also provided. Hungarians make up some 19% of the population of Transylvania; there are many towns and communes in parts of Transylvania that have Hungarian as a second official language. Language rights are sensitive in these areas, where Hungarian speakers are campaigning for greater official status, and possible autonomy for the predominantly-Hungarian counties of eastern Transylvania ('Székely Land'). English and French are the main foreign languages taught in schools. English is spoken by 5 million Romanians, French is spoken by 4–5 million, and German, Italian and Spanish are each spoken by 1–2 million people.[citation needed]
Historically, French was the predominant foreign language spoken in Romania, but English has since superseded it. Consequently, Romanian English-speakers tend to be younger than Romanian French-speakers. Romania is, however, a full member of La Francophonie, and hosted the Francophonie Summit in 2006.[218] German has been taught predominantly in Transylvania, due to traditions tracing back to the Austro-Hungarian rule in this province.
The Romanian language remains, according to the Constitution of Romania, the only official language of Romania, but local councils ensure linguistic rights to all minorities, who form over 11% of the total population. Foreign citizens and stateless persons that live in Romania have access to justice and education in their own language.[219]

Main articles: Religion in Romania, Romanian Orthodox Church, Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek-Catholic, and Pentecostal Union of Romania
Romania is a secular state and has no state religion. However, an overwhelming majority of the country's citizens identify themselves as Christians. 86.7% of the country's population identified as Orthodox Christian according to the 2002 census, the vast majority of which belongs to the Romanian Orthodox Church. Other major Christian denominations include Protestantism (5.2%), Roman Catholicism (4.7%) and the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church (0.9%).[211] The latter two religious organizations suffered most severely under the Communist regime. The Greek-Catholic Church was outlawed by the Communist government in 1948;[220] later, under the Ceaușescu regime, several churches in Transylvania were demolished. Protestants and Roman Catholics are also concentrated in Transylvania.
The foundation of the oldest-known Romanian Orthodox church is still visible at Drobeta-Turnu Severin today, and dates from the 14th century; however, much earlier crypts with unearthed relics of Christian martyrs executed at the orders of the Roman emperor Diocletian were found in local church records dating as far back as the 3rd century AD. Thus, the relics of Saint Sava the Goth who was martyred by drowning in the river Buzău in Romania, under Athanaric, on 12 April 372, were reverently received by St. Basil the Great. Earlier still, the first known Daco-Roman Christian priest Montanus and his wife Maxima were drowned because of their Christian faith, as martyrs, on 26 March 304.
Romania also has a Muslim minority concentrated in Dobruja, mostly of Turkish and Tatar ethnicity and numbering 67,500 people.[221] According to the results of the 2002 census, there are 66,846 Romanian citizens of the Unitarian faith (0.3% of the total population). Of the total Hungarian-speaking minority in Romania, Unitarians represent 4.55%, being the third denominational group after members of the Reformed Church in Romania (47.10%) and Roman Catholics (41.20%). Since 1700, the Unitarian Church has had 125 parishes—in 2006, there were 110 Unitarian ministers and 141 places of worship in Romania.[citation needed] According to the 2002 census, there were 6,179 Jews, 23,105 people who are of no religion and/or atheist, and 11,734 who refused to answer. On 27 December 2006, a new Law on Religion was approved under which religious denominations can only receive official registration if they have at least 20,000 members, or about 0.1% of Romania's total population.[222] The Romanian Orthodox Church is an autocephalous Orthodox church. It is in full communion with other Orthodox churches, and is ranked seventh in order of precedence. The Primate of the church has the title of Patriarch. Its jurisdiction covers the territory of Romania, with dioceses for Romanians living in nearby Moldova, Serbia and Hungary, as well as diaspora communities in Central and Western Europe, North America and Oceania.
It is the only Orthodox church using a Romance language. The majority of people in Romania (18,817,975, or 86.8% of the population, according to the 2002 census data[223]) belong to it, as well as some 720,000 Moldovans.[224] The Romanian Orthodox Church is the second-largest in size after the Russian Orthodox Church.
The most significant holidays of the Romanian Orthodox Church are:
- Baptism of Jesus (6 January);
- Resurrection of Jesus (has no fixed date), associated with Easter;
- Ascension of Jesus (has no fixed date, celebrated 40 days after Easter);
- Dormition of the Theotokos (15 August), preceded by two weeks of fasting;
- Nativity of the Theotokos (8 September);
- Nativity of Jesus (25 December), associated with Christmas.
Urbanization[link]

In the years following the Revolution has been a massive migration from village to city, but since 1996, the trend was reversed, and after 2005 was even stronger. Between 2005 and 2008, the number of people who have changed residence from rural to urban was 294,000, while the number of people who have changed residence from urban to rural was 418,000, difference being of over 120,000 people. Between 1996 and 2008, the difference was 313,000.[225] According to statistics compiled in 2004, 11,895,600 citizens (54.88%) lived in the urban environment, and 9,777,728 citizens (45.12%) lived in the rural environment. The most urbanized counties are Hunedoara County (76.87%), Brașov County (74.91%) and Constanța County (71.12%), while the most sparsely urbanized counties are Ilfov County (26.09%), Dâmbovița County (30.06%) and Giurgiu County (30.95%).[226]
Bucharest is the capital and the largest city in Romania. At the census in 2011, its population was over 1.6 million. The LUZ area of Bucharest has a population of 2,192,372 inhabitants.[227] As of 2011, there are plans to establish a metropolitan area up to 20 times the area of the city proper.[228][229][230]
Romania has four other cities that are among the European Union's 100 most populous: Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Iași and Constanța. Other cities with populations over 200,000 are Craiova, Galați and Brașov. Another 11 cities have a population of over 100,000.[231][232]
At present, several of the largest cities have a metropolitan area: Constanța (446,595 inhab.), Iași (402,786 inhab.), Brașov (402,041 inhab.), Cluj-Napoca (392,562 inhab.),[233][234] Craiova (333,834 inhab.) and Oradea (249,746 inhab.), and several others are planned: Bucharest, Timișoara, Brăila-Galați, Bacău and Ploiești.[235]
Rural areas represent about 90% of total area of the country[citation needed], and their share – among the highest in Europe – amounts to 47.3% of the total population. In December 2006 Romania had 2,854 communes, consisting of 12,951 villages. The average population of a Romanian village is about 800 people.[236]

Education[link]
Main article: Romanian educational system
See also: Romanian Baccalaureate and List of universities in Romania
Since the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the Romanian educational system has been in a continuous process of reform that has been both praised and criticized.[237] According to the Law on Education adopted in 1995, the educational system is regulated by the Ministry of Education and Research. Each level has its own form of organization and is subject to different legislation. Kindergarten is optional for children between 3 and 6 years old. Schooling starts at age 7 (sometimes 6), and is compulsory until the 10th grade (which usually corresponds to the age of 17 or 16).[238] Primary and secondary education are divided into 12 grades. Higher education is aligned with the European higher education area.
Aside from the official schooling system, and the recently[when?] added private equivalents, there exists a semi-legal, informal, fully private tutoring system. Tutoring is mostly used during secondary as a preparation for the various examinations, which are notoriously difficult. Tutoring is widespread, and it can be considered a part of the Education System. It has subsisted and even prospered during the Communist regime.[239]
In 2004, some 4.4 million of the population were enrolled in school. Out of these, 650,000 in kindergarten, 3.11 million (14% of population) in primary and secondary level, and 650,000 (3% of population) in tertiary level (universities).[240] In the same year, the adult literacy rate was 97.3% (45th worldwide), while the combined gross enrollment ratio for primary, secondary and tertiary schools was 75% (52nd worldwide).[241]
The results of the PISA assessment study in schools for the year 2000 placed Romania on the 34th rank out of 42 participant countries with a general weighted score of 432 representing 85% of the mean OECD score.[242] According to the Academic Ranking of World Universities, in 2006 no Romanian university was included in the first 500 top universities world wide.[243] Using similar methodology to these rankings, it was reported that the best placed Romanian university, Bucharest University, attained the half score of the last university in the world top 500.[244] In the most recently ranking Babes-Bolyai University was ranked number 1 University in Romania in 2009 by Capital.[245] BBU is followed by University of Bucharest which is the second and by Transilvania University which is placed 3rd. Notably, Bucharest boasts the largest university in Europe by number of students, Spiru Haret University.[246]
Culture[link]
Main articles: Culture of Romania and Symbols of Romania
Romania has a unique culture, which is the product of its geography and of its distinct historical evolution. Like Romanians themselves, it is fundamentally defined as the meeting point of three regions: Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans, but cannot be truly included in any of them.[247]
Arts, literature and philosophy[link]
A unified Romanian literature began to develop with the revolutions of 1848 and the union of the two Danubian Principalities in 1859. The origin of the Romanians began to be discussed and by the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, Romanian Transylvanian scholars along with Romanian scholars from Moldavia and Wallachia began studying in France, Italy and Germany.[248] German philosophy and French culture were integrated into modern Romanian literature, and a new elite of artists led to the appearance of some of the classics of Romanian literature such as Mihai Eminescu, George Coșbuc, Ioan Slavici. Although not particularly renowned outside the country, these writers are widely appreciated within Romania for giving birth to modern Romanian literature. Eminescu is considered the greatest and most influential Romanian poet, particularly for the poem Luceafărul.[249] Among other writers that rose to prominence in the second half of 19th century are Mihail Kogălniceanu (also the first prime minister of Romania), Vasile Alecsandri, Nicolae Bălcescu, Ion Luca Caragiale, and Ion Creangă.
The first half of the 20th century is regarded by many scholars as the Golden Age of Romanian culture, as it is the period when it reached its greatest level of international affirmation and enjoyed a strong connection to Western European cultural trends.[250] Notably, figures such as Tristan Tzara and Marcel Janco pioneered the anti-war Dada movement beginning with the First World War.[251] The most prominent Romanian artist of this time, however, was sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, a central figure of the modern movement and a pioneer of abstraction. His works present a blend of simplicity and sophistication that led the way for modernist sculptors.[252] As a testimony to his skill, one of his pieces, Bird in Space, was sold in an auction for $27.5 million in 2005, a record for any sculpture.[253][254] In the interwar years, Romanian literature was greatly expanded through the works of, among others, Tudor Arghezi, Mircea Eliade, Lucian Blaga, George Bacovia, Eugen Barbu and Liviu Rebreanu.
After the World Wars, Communism brought 'absolute' censorship and used the cultural world as well as a means to tightly control the population in addition to the much feared "Securitate" paramilitary organization, numerous formers and their informers. Freedom of expression was constantly restricted in various ways, but the likes of Gellu Naum, Nichita Stănescu, Marin Sorescu or Marin Preda managed to escape censorship, broke with "socialist realism" and were the leaders of a small "Renaissance" in Romanian literature.[255] While not many of them managed to obtain international acclaim due to censorship, some, like Constantin Noica, Paul Goma and Mircea Cărtărescu, had their works published abroad even though they were jailed for various political reasons.
Some artists chose to leave the country for good and continued to make contributions in exile. Among them Eugen Ionescu, Mircea Eliade and Emil Cioran became renowned internationally for their works. Other literary figures who enjoy acclaim outside of the country include the poet Paul Celan and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, both survivors of the Holocaust. The novelist, poet and essayist Herta Müller also received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2009.
Romanian contemporary cinema has achieved worldwide acclaim with the appearance of such films as The Death of Mr. Lăzărescu, directed by Cristi Puiu, (Cannes 2005 Prix un certain regard winner) and 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, directed by Cristian Mungiu (Cannes 2007 Palme d'Or winner).[256] The latter, according to Variety, is "further proof of Romania's new prominence in the film world." Also, the cinematographic drama If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle directed by Florin Șerban was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival and won the Jury Grand Prix (the Silver Bear).[257][258]
Music[link]
Main article: Music of Romania
The first half of the 20th century saw the rise of George Enescu, Romania's greatest composer.[259] A child prodigy, Enescu created his first musical composition at the age of five and became an accomplished composer, violinist, pianist, conductor and teacher.[260] The annual George Enescu Festival is held in Bucharest in his honor. Also active in this period was Dinu Lipatti, a pianist notable for his interpretations of Chopin, Mozart and Bach.
Some famous postwar Romanian musicians are folk artists Maria Tănase, Tudor Gheorghe, and virtuoso of the pan flute Gheorghe Zamfir, the latter having sold over 120 million albums worldwide.[261][262]
Artists from Romania have recently begun to inch their way onto the international pop music scene, scoring millions of views on YouTube and selling hundreds of thousands of singles. Among the best known are Inna, Edward Maya, Akcent and Alexandra Stan.
Maya's "Stereo Love" became the first number one song in Billboard's year-end Dance Airplay chart to have reached number one three times in its chart run, while competing in a line-up that included Lady Gaga. Since the 2009 release of "Stereo Love", the Bucharest-born composer has won gold and platinum albums from Canada to Spain and toured clubs as far away as India and Pakistan.[263]
Inna, however, has been the most successful, having sold nearly two million singles worldwide, notably in the United States and United Kingdom. Inna has had more than 114 million views on YouTube for her hits like "Amazing", "Sun Is Up", "Hot", "10 Minutes" or "Club Rocker" and more than two million fans on Facebook. Alexandra Stan, also a very popular singer has managed millions of views on YouTube and has won many song contests in countries like Israel, Germany or United States. She has also put together her first album consisting of songs such as "Mr. Saxobeat". The single "Get Back (ASAP)" was awarded in Italy with Platinum Disc, for sales of over 60,000 copies, also Inna being awarded with Gold Discs in Netherlands and France.[264]
Romania joined the Eurovision Song Contest 1994, after an unsuccessful attempt the year before. Their best result is three (first in the 2005 final) while their worst is being number twenty-two. Mihai Trăistariu is the Romanian singer with most international performances. His song, "Tornerò", was ranked the fourth place at Eurovision Song Contest 2006, with 172 points. He has sold over 1.5 million albums in Romania and abroad. Also, Paula Seling and Ovi Martin were ranked third place at televoting results of Eurovision Song Contest 2010, with 162 points.[265]
Monuments[link]
See also: National Register of Historic Monuments in Romania, List of World Heritage Sites in Romania, List of museums in Romania, and List of castles in Romania
The list of World Heritage Sites[266] includes Romanian sites such as the Saxon villages with fortified churches in Transylvania, the Painted churches of northern Moldavia with their fine exterior and interior frescoes, the Wooden Churches of Maramureș unique examples that combine Gothic style with traditional timber construction, the Monastery of Horezu, the citadel of Sighișoara, and the Dacian Fortresses of the Orăștie Mountains.[267]
Peleș Castle (Sinaia), built between 1873–1914, is considered one of the most beautiful castles in Romania and Eastern Europe.[268] Unique architecture and gold gilded rooms attract thousands of visitors daily. Voroneț Monastery, built in 1488, is one of the most valuable foundations of Stephen the Great. Also, Unirii Square is the treasure in the heart of Cluj-Napoca, on which rises the St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, guarded by two "twin" buildings on the eastern side. Located at 29.7 km (18 mi) from Brașov, between Bucegi and Piatra Craiului Mountains, Bran Castle is a major national monument and tourist landmark. Built by Saxons in the 14th century, today it hosts an art and furniture collection by Queen Marie, but is also marketed as the legendary residence of Bram Stoker's Dracula.[269]
Romania's contribution to the World Heritage List stands out because it consists of some groups of monuments scattered around the country, rather than one or two special landmarks.[270] Also, in 2007, the city of Sibiu, famous for its Brukenthal National Museum, was the European Capital of Culture alongside the city of Luxembourg.[271]
Sports[link]
Main article: Sport in Romania
Oină is a traditional Romanian sporting game continuously practiced at least since the 14th century, pursuant to chronicles and charters, first official documentary attestation dating since 1364, during the reign of Vladislav I of Wallachia.[272] Oină is a sporting game practiced outdoors, on a rectangular field, preferably covered with grass, between two teams of eleven players. The game requires for complex sports skills and is similar to sports common in other countries, such as German Schlagball, Finnish palsepool, French jeu de paume, respectively Irish cluiche corr. Oină underlying the baseball, being borrowed from the period in which it not evolved enough, compared to contemporary period, in which oină represents an extremely complex game.
Association football is the most popular sport in Romania.[273] The governing body is the Romanian Football Federation, which belongs to UEFA. At the international level, the Romania national football team has taken part seven times in the FIFA World Cup. It had its most successful period in the 1990s, when during the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Romania reached the quarter-finals and was ranked sixth by FIFA. The core player of this "Golden Generation"[274] and perhaps the best known Romanian player internationally is Gheorghe Hagi (nicknamed the Maradona of the Carpathians).[275] Famous currently active players are Adrian Mutu and Cristian Chivu.
The most famous football club is Steaua București, who in 1986 became the first Eastern European club ever to win the prestigious European Champions Cup title, and who played the final again in 1989. Another successful Romanian team Dinamo București played a semifinal in the European Champions Cup in 1984 and a Cup Winners Cup semifinal in the 1990. Other important Romanian football clubs are Rapid București, CFR 1907 Cluj-Napoca and FC Universitatea Craiova.
Tennis is the second most popular sport in terms of registered sportsmen.[273] Romania reached the Davis Cup finals three times (1969, 1971, 1972). The tennis player Ilie Năstase won several Grand Slam titles and dozens of other tournaments, and was the first player to be ranked as number 1 by ATP from 1973 to 1974. His doubles and Davis Cup Partner as well as mentor, Ion Țiriac is now the most successful businessman in the country. Virginia Ruzici won the French Open in 1978, while in 1980 she was runner-up. Florența Mihai was another female tennis player from Romania who played the final of the French Open in 1977. The Romanian Open is held every fall in Bucharest since 1993.
Irina Spîrlea was number 7 in the world in the WTA and Andrei Pavel top 15 of the ATP, both in the 90s. Famous currently active players are Sorana Cîrstea, Simona Halep, Monica Niculescu, Irina Begu, Alexandra Dulgheru, Victor Hănescu and Horia Tecău.
Popular team sports are rugby union (national rugby team has so far competed at every Rugby World Cup), basketball and handball.[273] The Romania national handball team is a four-time world champion team, with Sweden and France (record holder), while Oltchim Râmnicu Vâlcea is a top team in women's handball.
Some popular individual sports are: athletics, chess, sport dance, and martial arts and other fighting sports.[273] Fighting sports are actually popular in Romania, especially in the TV broadcastings. Famous boxers include Nicolae Linca, Francisc Vaștag, Mihai Leu, Leonard Doroftei, Adrian Diaconu and Lucian Bute, while Daniel Ghiță became the first Romanian kickboxer to qualify for the K-1 World Grand Prix Final. Famous athletes with outstanding results in this sport were: Iolanda Balaș, Lia Manoliu, Doina Melinte, Viorica Viscopoleanu, Mihaela Peneș, Argentina Menis, Ileana Silai, Anișoara Cușmir, Maricica Puică, Paula Ivan, Gabriela Szabo, Lidia Simon and lately Monica Iagăr, Marian Oprea, Mihaela Melinte or Constantina Diță-Tomescu.
Romanian gymnastics has had a large number of successes – for which the country became known worldwide.[276] In the 1976 Summer Olympics, the gymnast Nadia Comăneci became the first gymnast ever to score a perfect ten in an Olympic event. She also won three gold medals, one silver and one bronze, all at the age of fifteen.[277] Her success continued in the 1980 Summer Olympics, where she was awarded two gold medals and two silver medals. In her career she won 30 medals, of which 21 were gold.
Romania participated for the first time in the Olympic Games in 1900 and has taken part in 18 of the 24 summer games. Romania has been one of the more successful countries at the Summer Olympic Games (15th overall) with a total of 283 medals won throughout the years, 82 of which are gold medals.[278] They were noted for participating in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States, in defiance of a Warsaw Pact boycott, finishing second in gold medals (20) and third in total medal count (53).
Traditions[link]
In addition to the religious aspects, in Romania Easter also symbolizes the rebirth and the renewal of daily life. It is usual on Easter morning, after the return of villagers from churches, for children to go to neighbors' homes, to bring luck and wealth, in exchange for a red egg. On Christmas Eve, young people carol the village homes, hosts giving in exchange nuts, sponge cakes, apples, pretzels and other delicacies. The Star boys' singing procession is a very important part of the Romanian Christmas festivity. In the week between Christmas and New Year, in all villages, groups of lads prepare for "bid", a complex system of customs and habits. On the evening, in the eve of respective year which arises promising, are expected to occur "Ursul", "Capra", "Bunghierii", "Căiuții", "Malanca", "Jienii", "Mascații" and others.[279]
The Romanian folkloric costumes characterize own attributes of the Romanian people and contribute essentially at the definition of ethnic specificity. Closely related to human existence, the folkloric costume reflected over time, as reflected nowadays, mentality and artistic conception of the people. The folkloric costume has been developed with history, being a genuine expression of coherent traditions throughout centuries. Distinct clothing ornamentation, traditional methods used for sewing and tailoring the pieces of clothing, and wide variety of costumes from one region to another customize the defining spirit of the Romanian people. For women, one of the most important parts of the celebration costume is a kerchief called maramă. A maramă is made from a special fabric called borangic, which resembles silk, so the texture of the material is really nice and soft. An important aspect is its transparency, given by the weaver in which it's made. The borangic is obtained from silkworms' cocoons. Every woman grows the silkworms in her own yard, feeding them with mullberry leaves. After approximately 6 weeks, the worms would hide in their cocoons and the person who's in charge of them should move the cocoons into the sun so the worms die and the silk filament can be extracted. Once all the filaments are extracted, they're put into a weaver and one woman starts making the maramă.[280]
Also, the folklore of Romania is defined by its mythology, branch of folk literature that integrates a variety of ancestral habits, tales, fables and ballads, whose authors are anonymous. The rural character of the Romanian communities resulted in an exceptionally vital and creative traditional culture. So, in Romanian mythology were conceived fabulous beings, unreal characters endowed with supernatural powers. These include Baba Cloanța, a misshapen and recondite witch, Iele, inconstant virgins endowed with unapproachable ability of seduction and superhuman features, Muma Pădurii, a hag that lives in deep forest, Strigoi, troubled souls of the dead rising from the grave and Făt-Frumos, a knight hero that fights with griffons, dragons and witches to liberate his heart chosen, Ileana Cosânzeana.[281] The words "longing" and "mourning" have correspondent in another language, but the nonfigurative character remains undecipherable and define specificity of the Romanian soul. Doina, characteristic only Romanian literary folklore, represents the lyric creation that Romanian expresses the most varied and complex range of feelings, strongly rooted in his spiritual structure. In the Romanian folkloric tradition, "doina" was played mainly orally or accompanied by a single instrument, being the song of elegy, played for self comforting and not intended for festive events because of its sober nature.
Cuisine[link]
Main article: Romanian cuisine
Romanian cuisine is a diverse blend of different dishes from several traditions with which it has come into contact, but it also maintains its own character. It has been greatly influenced by Ottoman cuisine but also includes influences from the cuisines of other neighbours, such as the Greeks (musaca), Bulgarians (zacuscă), Turks (pilaf), and Hungarians (langoși). Quite different types of dishes are sometimes included under a generic term; for example, the category ciorbă includes a wide range of soups with a characteristic sour taste. These may be meat and vegetable soups, tripe and calf foot soups, or fish soups, all of which are soured by lemon juice, sauerkraut juice, vinegar, or traditionally borș (fermented wheat bran). Popular main courses include mititei, frigărui and the șnițel. One of the most common dishes is mămăliga (similar to the Italian polenta), and is served on its own or as a side dish. Pork and chicken are the preferred meats, but beef, lamb and fish are also popular.
Sarmale are prepared from minced meat (pork, beef, mutton, poultry or fish meat, especially in the Danube Delta), mixed with rice and other aliments (pap, couscous etc.) and wrapped in cabbage (fresh or sour) or vine leaves in the form of rolls. Usually, they are served with polenta and smetana, but can be served with a spoonful of fresh butter.
The list of desserts includes names like amandine, clătite, chec, cozonac, gogoși, griș cu lapte, lapte de pasăre etc. In the north-western Romania, are prepared so-called ciureghe, gomboți cu prune, pancove, plăcinte crețe, while in the north-eastern Romania, the traditional desserts are chec cu vișine, tartă cu mere, alivenci moldovenești.[282]
Țuică is a strong plum brandy that is widely regarded as the country's traditional alcoholic beverage, along with wine. Romania is the world's second largest plum producer (after the United States)[283] and as much as 75% of Romania's plum production is processed into the famous țuică, a plum brandy obtained through one or more distillation steps reaching (but not limited to) an 70% alcohool concentration depending on the number of steps of distillation.[284] Alcoholic beverages are also obtained from other fruits (see rachiu, palincă and vișinată).[285] Wine, however, is the preferred drink, and Romanian wines have a tradition of over three millennia.[285] Romania is currently the world's 9th largest wine producer, and recently[when?] the export market has started to grow.[285] Romania produces a wide selection of domestic varieties (Fetească, Grasă, Tamâioasă, Băbească), as well as varieties from across the world (Italian Riesling, Merlot, Sauvignon blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Muscat Ottonel). Beer is also highly regarded, generally blonde pilsener beer, the traditional methods of preparation being generally influenced by German wheat beers. There are some Romanian breweries with a long tradition, such as Timișoreana, Ursus and Azuga. Since the 19th century, beer has become increasingly popular, and today Romanians are amongst the heaviest beer drinkers in the world.[286]
Certain recipes are made in direct connection with the season or the holidays. At Christmas, each family usually sacrifice a pig and prepare a large variety of dishes of its meat and organs (cârnați, caltaboși, chiftele, tobă, șnițele). At Easter, is customary to sacrifice a lamb, preparing of its meat drob de miel and roast lamb with thyme, as dessert being served pască cu brânză and cozonac cu nucă.[287]

Biography[link]
He was born in the town of Cellino San Marco (province of Brindisi, Puglia in Southern Italy), where he still lives.
His mother named him Albano because, when he was born, his father Carmelo Carrisi was fighting in Albania for the Royal Italian Army during World War II. His mother was Iolanda Ottino. He has one brother, Franco Carrisi (Kocis).
He made his debut in 1966 both as a singer, at the Festival delle Rose, and on television. He won the Disco per l'Estate, an Italian song contest, with "Pensando a te" in 1968. He recorded some major hits such as "La siepe" and "Nel sole" at that time. "Nel sole" sold 600,000 copies in Italy within three months of release, and eventually over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc in July 1968.[1]
Soon afterwards, he started a musical collaboration with Romina Power (daughter of the American actor Tyrone Power), whom he married in 1970. After their marriage, they recorded Storia di due innamorati. They sang as the duo Al Bano & Romina Power for almost thirty years; their work has been especially popular in Italy, Austria, France,Spain, Romania and Germany. They released Dialogo in 1975 and took part in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 with the song "We'll Live It All Again" ("Noi lo rivivrei di nuovo"). They sang "Sharazan" in 1981 and the following year they took part in the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Felicità", which came second. They won first prize in 1984 singing "Ci sarà" and again took part in the Eurovision Song Contest 1985 with "Magic Oh Magic". Both their Eurovision entries placed 7th. Other hits of 1987 include: "Nostalgia canaglia" (awarded 3rd prize at Festival di Sanremo) and "Libertà". Those successful songs were followed by "Cara Terra mia", which came in third once more at the Sanremo Music Festival. The album Oggi sposi went out in 1991.
Al Bano returned to his solo career in 1996 with "È la mia vita" which was followed by "Verso il sole" in 1997 and "Ancora in volo" in 1999 (that year, his duo - and his marriage - with Romina broke up). In 2000, Al Bano returned to the Eurovision stage, providing backing vocals for the Swiss entry (performed in Italian) "La vita cos'è?" performed by Jane Bogaert. This song placed 20th out of 24 in the contest. On 16 October 2001, Carrisi was nominated Goodwill Ambassador of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).[2]
In 2005, he starred in the Italian reality show L'isola dei Famosi (Italian version of Celebrity Survivor) with his daughter, Romina Carrisi. Al Bano returned to Sanremo Music Festival in 2007, where he sang "Nel perdono" which came in second place.
Al Bano still tours all over the world. He is a constant on Italian television and has a large number of fans who follow his career very closely. To date Al Bano has sold 165 million albums around the world. Albano has visited Albania a number of times. He was there for a concert in 1989 and has been enjoying great popularity there.[citation needed]
Opera[link]
Al Bano grew up listening and had a great passion for opera. He has released several opera albums and is a tenor as well as pop music that he sang still with Romina. His best known solo album perhaps was done in 1997 and was called Concerto Classico. The album went double platinum in a short time. Some of the songs he sang on that album are very well known in Italy. Such as "Una furtiva lagrima", "Va, pensiero", "La nostra serenata", "E lucevan le stelle", and "Ave Maria". He also performed in place of Luciano Pavarotti alongside 2 other renowned tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras.
Personal life[link]
On 26 July 1970, Al Bano married Romina Power (daughter of the American actor Tyrone Power), who had already started to share her musical career with him, and remained his stage partner for about 30 years.
Although Al Bano and Romina divorced in 1999, they have a son, Yari Marco (1973), and three daughters Ylenia Maria (1970) (who went missing in New Orleans in 1994), Cristel Chiara (1985) (starred in the Reality TV show La Fattoria, an Italian version of The Farm) and Romina Iolanda (1987). He has one daughter and one son from ex-girlfriend and showgirl Loredana Lecciso, Jasmine Caterina (2001) and Albano Giovanni (2002).
Al Bano had a great respect for Pope John Paul II and was requested by the Pope several times to perform at the Vatican in front of hundreds of thousands visiting the Vatican from across the globe. He was in attendance at the Pope's funeral.[citation needed]

Biography[link]
Born in Los Angeles, California, Romina Power is the eldest daughter of American actor Tyrone Power and his second wife, actress Linda Christian.
After her parents divorced in 1956 her mother took Romina and her sister Taryn to live all around the world but mainly in Mexico and Italy where she and her sister spent much of their childhood, although Romina attended college in England.[1]
Her interest in music was evoked in her childhood by American musicals from the 1950s, Mexican Mariachi bands and Italian music from the 1960s. In her early teens Power discovered The Beatles and Bob Dylan, which inspired her to compose music. After receiving a guitar as a birthday gift, she learned chords and wrote her first songs.
She appeared in several mainly Italian language films from the age of 14, including the 1968 adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's novel Justine directed by Jesus Franco.
She met her singer and actor husband Albano Carrisi whilst acting in films in the 1960s. They married in 1970. In 1975 they formed a singing duo, which became well known in Italy, Germany, Austria, Spain, France, Greece, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the USSR, releasing multiple albums in different languages and achieving 7th place in both the 1976 and 1985 Eurovision Song Contest for Italy. The couple divorced in 1999. They have four children:
- Ylenia Maria (b. 1970), who went missing in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1994
- Yari Marco (b. 1973), their only son[2]
- Cristel Chiara (b. 1985), who appeared in the Italian Reality TV show La Fattoria (The Farm)
- Romina Iolanda (b. 1987), who appeared in the 2005 edition of Italian Reality TV show Isola dei Famosi (Italian version of Survivor) with her father.
In 2005 she was a judge in the Italian TV show Ballando con le Stelle ("Dancing with the Stars").
Between 2006 and 2007 Romina organized exhibitions of her paintings, mainly in Milan. At the same time she dedicated herself to directing her film "Upaya" (2006).
In spring 2007 Romina Power bought a house in Sedona, Arizona and decided to leave Italy forever and move to the United States. The glamorous interview in which she revealed her plans was published in an Italian magazine Diva e donna. According to Romina, she was perceived by the Italian public merely as a performer of Il ballo del qua-qua (a song for children, from her and Al Bano's album Felicità, 1982), and for her it was difficult to establish herself in Italy as a painter and writer. Furthermore, she was disturbed by intrusive attention of the local press that published multiple articles with speculations about her private life and disappearance of her daughter Ylenia.[3][4] The Italian people reacted with disappointment at Power's statements, because for decades, she lived and performed in Italy, surrounded by the affection of the Italian public.
Shortly after her move in, in 2008, her mother Linda Christian was diagnosed with colon cancer, so she went live in her mother's house in Palm Springs,[which?] where she remained for three years, until the life's end of her mother, on July 22, 2011.
In November 2009, in an interview, said she thought of returning permanently in Italy, because of the strong bond with the nation, the culture, the Italian lifestyle, that she prefers to the U.S.. [5]
Romina is a polyglot who speaks five languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French and Dutch.[6]
