Culture of Romania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Romania's culture is very similar to other European culture, including that of Western Europe and Central Europe. However, the culture also has some influence from other, Oriental parts, including Turkey, or Slavic countries such as Russia.

Here's a sketch of what should be here:

• folk music and traditions
• classical and contemporan music (George Enescu,Gheorghe Zamfir,Constantin Silvestri, Iannis Xenakis)
• literature (Mihai Eminescu, Mihai Sadoveanu, Ion Creanga, Ion Luca Caragiale, Eugène Ionesco, Mircea Eliade and Tristan Tzara)
• painting (Nicolae Tonitza, Nicolae Grigorescu, Camil Ressu)
• sculpture (Constantin Brancusi)
• cinematography (Sergiu Nicolaescu, Johnny Weissmuller, Edward G. Robinson)
• architecture (starting with Dacian fortresses, Middle-Ages Monasteries, Medieval castles as Castelul Huniazilor or Dracula's Bran Castle, early modern buildings, Palatul Parlamentului)
• sport (Nadia Comaneci,Simona Amanar, Gheorghe Hagi)
• a little bit about science (Traian Vuia, Henri Coanda, Hermann Oberth etc.)
