Piteti Tradition and Modernity: Attested by documents on the 20th
of May 1388, in a title deed on behalf of the prince Mircea the Old, the
merchant town of Piteti developed trades, handcrafts and agriculture.
The history of every nation is marked by true family dynasties that
changed its decisive course. Early modern era is connected to Tudor
Vladimirescus name and Piteti due to its strategic position in Piteti-
Cmpulung-Muscel-Trgovite triangle was considered a presumptive
center of revolutionary resistance. Goleti (Dinicu, Alexander, Nicholas)
and Brtianu (John, Vintil, Dinu, George) names and facts dedicated to
public services are bound together in the history of this region. Important
cultural vestiges were traced nearby St Georges Church built up in 1656
as the first multi-storey arched-brick architectural composition, and near
Trivale Hermitage built by Varlaam, the Metropolitan scholar. When the
regnant prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza visited Piteti on the 19th of June
1859, the townspeople presented him a four-colour chart of the city. At
that time, in Piteti there were 1,400 houses, 7,000 inhabitants, a
Romanian teacher training college, two private schools providing tuition in
German and Greek, a boarding school for girls who studied French and
German. At the same time, the city had 10 Orthodox churches, an
Armenian one, a synagogue and a 30-bed hospital. During the interwar
period, the writers Vlad Muatescu and Ion Slite were born in Piteti. It is
here where Liviu Rebreanu, the writer, Ion Pillat, the poet, Mihail Sorbul,
the playwright, George Vlsan, the geographer, Dumitru Udrescu, the
folklorist carried out their lifelong activities.
Piteti embodies the Tulip Symphony, a floriculture exhibition and
symbolic festival of the city which gathers each year officials and public
servants from all over the country as well as diplomats and foreign service
