Monumente de for public în preocuparea instituţiilor centrale şi locale din România
Public forum monuments in the preoccupation of the central and local institutions in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The problem of the public forum monuments had an evolution throughout time, joining both local committees and central institutions in its solving. The amplitude of such actions, or their local flavor, imposed material participation that resisted the passage of decades. The initiator(s) motivated the young and the old into contributing, by different means, to the accomplishment of the objective planned. This participation defined them as actual shareholders permanently preoccupied with the fate of the monuments, with their sending to the future generations as a sacred inheritance. A radical change took place between 1945 and 1989 when private initiative was removed, and the state's preoccupation of bringing or removing monuments from the public forum became the most important. The new monuments were meant to serve political purposes. The presentation of this stage allows the author to define the evolution, the changes in the party's ideology. After 1989, although radical actions were necessary, that segment of culture was neglected. In order to seva the existing patrimony and its completion in future, to get back to our ancestors experience that private initiative should brings symbols of honoring into the public forum. Also, in order to coordinate and assure the quality of these monuments, we should once again form the Superior Commission of Public Monuments, which, in the period between the two World Wars, held an important role in the fate of monuments. The public forum monument was and will always be a greeting card for each locality and, as such, we should grant its deserved attention.
