Subiect: A legislative project on heritage protection from Romania (1923)
Major political changes unreasonably oblige revisions, including legal ones,
demanding anchoring to new realities. After the Great Union of the Romanian
Provinces, concluded by the historical act of December 1, 1918, the Entire Romania was faced with imperative requirements of the factual unification of public life in all its components: political, economic, social, legal, religious, cultural. The issues of cultural heritage could not be missed by measures aimed at unification.
A special role in this vast process was played by the Ministry of Cults and
Arts, starting with the ministers, then the technicians and vocation managers who
responded, focusing on the approach of legislative and institutional unification. One
of the first projects presented, the one on behalf of the Transylvania Section of the
Historic Monuments Commission (1923), will be analyzed below.
