Romania
Fălticeni is
the hometown of the Lovinescu
family, which gave Romania four of its most distinguished men of letters of the
20th century: literary critic Eugen Lovinescu,
playwright Horia Lovinescu, esoterist Vasile Lovinescu
and novelist Anton Holban.
The Lovinescu
family contributed to founding a memorial museum in Fălticeni,
House of Notable People (Galeria
Oamenilor
de Seamă).
The museum was opened in 1972 and represents a synthesis of the city's cultural
and intellectual life.
The
Secondary School "Ion Irimescu"
took shape in 1873. The preis
Ion Savel
opened the gates of the school, this being considered a boy's school under the
name "Prince Carol".
In 1998 the school took the name of the artist Ion Irimescu.
Today in the school are studying over 700 students inside 27 different classes.
Five classes from the primary school are a different type of learning named Step
by step.
