George G. Mateescu şi Clujul
George G. Mateescu and Cluj

Summary/Abstract: Important personality of the Romanian cultural space from the interwar period, George G. Mateescu (1892-1929), the second director of the Romanian School in Rome and Vasile Pârvan’s disciple, who supervised him and his research, was also connected to the city of Cluj. From 1919 and until his premature death, he activated here as a professor at „Gh. Bariţiu” high school (1919-1926), and at the Pedagogical Seminary (in 1925), but also at the Faculty of Letters of Cluj University (from 1921 as an assistant professor and later, from 1926, as an Associate Professor). This was also the city where he loved and married Felicia Nicorescu, as well as where he published important handbooks for Gymnasium schools, which will be later translated into Hungarian and German. Conscious of this fact, we will present here the life and activity of the Romanian archaeologist in Cluj and we’ll try to show how the city stimulated his work and creativity.
