How much effort to go out of the heritages and the economic and morales disasters caused by the long communist dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu (1965 - 1989)!
Romania is still upset by the economic and institutional long crisis of the post Communism and from the difficulty to denationalize banks and industries.
The territory, big little more than 2/3 of Italy, inhabited alone 22 millions of people, is very various and often beatifull, with the wide valley of the Danube, that in Romania throws in the Black Sea with a huge delta and the woody splendid reliefs of the Carpathians.
Towns are partly devastated by the poverty and the uneasiness of the population, but often they represent beautiful examples of Central European town and architectural plants as Brasov, Cluj and Timisoara.
