Domnitorul Carol I şi Rîmnicu Vîlcea în anul 1873

  • Subiect: 1873 represents for the inhabitants of Rm.Valcea the moment of the meeting with the ruler Charles I. Prior to this visit, Charles I had invested Anastasie Stoenescu with the title of bishop, drawing the latter`s attention to the fact that, everywhere in his bishopric, he was bound to remember his ancestors` piety/devotion and the great history of the country. N. Iancovescu, the mayor, C. Budişteanu the prefect, together with the local people will pompously celebrate the birthdays of Charles I and Elizabeth of Wied (8th and 22nd April) and especially the 10th May, the ruler`s coronation day, with Te Deum-s, lit-up streets and fiddlers, which meant spending almost the whole budget allotted to this type of manifestations. The ruler`s visit is occasioned by the voyage on the Danube made by Elizabeth I and their daughter Mary. Charles I accompanied them to Turnu Severin, then he reached Râmnicu Vâlcea, via Tg. Jiu and finally Bucharest, via Curtea de Arges and Câmpulung. Râmnicu Vâlcea welcomes its glorious ruler and the amount of money spent on this event rises to 920 lei. Charles I visits the dungeon, schools, churches and the militia barracks, receiving flowers and considerable acclaim from the locals. Noticing the necessity of a bridge across the Olt, Charles I takes measures and, as a result, in 1875 they inaugurate the iron bridge from Goranu in1875. After this visit, the figures of Charles I and Elizabeth are painted in the narthex of the church John the Baptist from Vaideeni, which was built at the time. The painting was completely covered during the communist regime, at present still waiting to be rediscovered.
