Narcis Dorin Ion, Florica - vatra Brătienilor
Narcis Dorin Ion, Florica - the home of Brătianu Family

Summary/Abstract: The work represents the most important monograph dedicated to the residential complex in Florica, the place to which the name of the most important family of politicians in the modern and contemporary history of Romania is linked: the Brătianu family. Florica was “a complete residential area” and unique in Romania in that it gave the country three prime ministers (Ion C. Brătianu, Ion IC Brătianu and Vintilă IC Brătianu), whose mandates, full of political-administrative achievements, have almost 25 years, between 1876 and 1928. If we add to this list Dumitru C. Brătianu, brother of Ion C. Brătianu, we notice that we are dealing with a family of politicians ("Argeș dynasty", as he called it, ironically, Nicolae Iorga) who had an overwhelming role in the modern and contemporary history of Romania ”.Narcis Dorin Ion managed to leave in this book an impressive amount of information but also a very large number of photographs, many unique, from various sources - archives, private collections, museums, libraries -, thus creating a complete image and complex of the place and the people who made it have such great significance and such a fascinating history.
