The study aims to highlight coats of arms (except for the heraldic coat of arms of Wallachia), zoomorphic and mythological elements carved or engraved in stone, printed on leather, painted on paintings or documents at the Brancoveanu Palace in Mogosoaia, Ilfov County. Regarding the actual description of the different coats of arms and ornaments, we have taken into account the normatives and primciples of the heraldic science. In elaborating this study, we have considered the interest that these heraldic compositions, animal and mythological ornaments could arise in specialists, teachers, students, pupils, but also for tourists who may visit this building. We have considered that such testimonies used by the forerunners, symbols through which they expressed their thoughts and aspirations, could serve to a better understanding of some historical phenomena. Our study is a call for the detection, restoration (on a case-by-case basis), analysis and introduction within the scientific circuit of many more similar artifacts, which are still unknown to the general public.
The evaluation of the archeological and cultural potential represent essential elements of designing a complex study that may generate effects upon the durable tourism in a certain geographical area. The research aims to identify the monuments that are capable to satisfy the requirements imposed by the cultural and tourism-purposed activities by: accessibility, originality, old age, conservation state or maintenance or level of rehabilitation and promotion. The geographical areal under analysis is the historical and geographical province of Dobrogea, in Romania. It is a historical province of great value, while the present monuments have a particular feature connected to their old age, as well as certain particularities connected to their multi-ethnicity co-existing in this geographical areal. The methodology follows firstly the Cultural Monument List made up by the Ministry of Culture of Romania. On the second stage, there follows the analysis, on the field, of each monument enlisted and the establishment of the degree of cultural and tourism-purposed valorization, in compliance with the criteria already specified. The results of the study shows first of all a difference between the number of cultural monuments present, the value of which is undoubtedly extremely high, and the degree of valorization they benefit of. The exigencies of the tourists do not allow their being introduced and used into the tourism-purposed circuit or in the tourism offers regarding the monuments that have a very low degree of accessibility, originality and rehabilitation level.
Each period features typical aspects regarding investment in a certain field. Home and personal needs purchases by accessing bank loans have become more and more attractive. Our study analyzes this situation of home and personal needs bank loans accessed by the Romanian population in the first six months, January-July 2020. The analysis is made based on the data given by the National Bank of Romania and the National Fund of Deposit Guarantee from Romania. The methodology relied on tracking the two types of loans, for personal needs and homes and on the graphic representation of their distribution. The distribution map based on the two types of credits in counties, expanded regionally and then nationally for every month (January-July) in 2020 offers the bird's eye view upon this situation. The results of the survey follow firstly the attitude differences of the population in Romania regarding accessing home and personal needs loans before and after the Sars CoV 2 pandemic. The Covid 19 pandemic unpredictably influences many Romanians' budgets and implicitly the whole Romanian economic landscape. In each region from Romania there are counties with a high economic potential which go beyond the national ratio. Equally there are counties where the economic potential is lower. This is exactly the reason why we tried to capture in this survey the situation from each county. The incomes of the population influence accessing bank loans, regardless of their type. Because the statistics data have been issued until mid 2020, the situation is not very highly visible, but there is a shaped tendency concerning the orientation of the population towards a certain type of consumption. We intend to continue the survey for the next months of 2020 after this year as well.
The tourist presentations have the role of attractig attention due to the uniqueness of the information provided. Heraldic compositions are quite appealing and can become important elements in the discourse of a tourist presentation. Our study aims to highlight the coats of arms and the flag embroidered, sewn, engraved, painted, sculpted, cast or moulded, woven, objects that exist at the St. Gheorghe-Nou Church in Bucharest, the place where, among others, there are buried the rulers of Wallachia, Constantin Brancoveanu (1688-1714) and Ioan Mavrocordat (1716-1719). The funeral service of the poet Mihai Eminescu took place at this church, which is famous as a monument of Brancoveanu art in the Romanian capital-city. For the preparation of this study we have researched the church building, the bell, the frontispiece, the inscription, the perforated railings of the front porch and the staircase at the back entrance, the tombstone of Constantin Brâncoveanu's tomb, the scraper cover lid of the tomb containing the relics of Constantin Brâncoveanu, a few tetrapodes, the iconostasis, the carpet, the tablecloths, the curtains and the special curtain (the church flag) inside it. Regarding the actual description of the different types of coats of arms and the flag, we have complied with the heraldic and vexillological norms. We have taken into account the interest that these testimonies may arise in tourists, pilgrims, teachers, pupils and students alike, especially since the vexillological and heraldic sources can serve both to a better understanding of some historical phenomena and to distinguishing the symbols by which the ctitors and artists expressed their thoughts and aspirations. Our study is an impetus for the detection, analysis and placement in the scientific circuit and other sources of this kind, still unknown to tourists and to the general public.
