Strada unde au trăit geniile României

Povernei Street – the place where Bucharest hid its geniuses, stories and wounds Few streets in Bucharest concentrate as much history, culture and drama as Povernei Street. Today we embark on a fascinating journey with Dana Poh, discovering places where some of Romania’s greatest personalities have passed and stories that have remained hidden for decades. We begin the route at the famous Lipatti House, where we learn impressive details about the life of what many consider the greatest Romanian pianist – Dinu Lipatti. We discover the child-genius who was composing since he was five years old, the house built by Petre Antonescu, his family, but also emotional memories of his lesser-known brother, the great diplomat Valentin Lipatti, one of the most important Romanian diplomats of the last century. The documentary continues on Povernei Street, a street whose name comes from the old installations used for the manufacture of alcohol, in an area that at the beginning of the 19th century represented the outskirts of Bucharest. We learn how architect Carol Benisch transformed this rural area into an elegant neighborhood and how many of the historic buildings that we can still admire emerged. But this walk is not just about the beauty of architecture. It is also about the lost heritage of Bucharest. We talk about controversial demolitions, about disappeared historical monuments, about valuable houses downgraded so they could be destroyed and about the interests that forever changed the image of one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of the Capital. We discover the story of the Teodor Rosetti-Solești houses, General George Adrian and the controversial disappearance of buildings that were part of the identity of Bucharest. Throughout the documentary we learn impressive stories about the great painter Ștefan Luchian, the artist who continued to paint even when the disease had confined him to bed, about the unjust trial filed against him in the last days of his life and about the earth-shattering testimonies left by Tudor Arghezi and Nicolae Tonitza. We visit the places where artists, architects and cultural figures who shaped modern Romania lived and learn the story of the missing bust of the great conductor George Georgescu, saved from oblivion in an anonymous courtyard in Bucharest. We also discover the extraordinary intervention of George Enescu, who fought for Georgescu’s reinstatement as director of the Philharmonic during an extremely difficult period in Romanian history. There is also the touching story of the friendship between Dinu Lipatti and the famous pianist Clara Haskil, a relationship that speaks of modesty, talent and sacrifice. Finally, we arrive at one of the most picturesque buildings in Bucharest – the famous artists’ tavern on Povernei Street, the place where penniless painters could pay for their consumption with sketches, sketches and paintings. The walls of the place have become, over time, a true art gallery, and the atmosphere of this place still retains the scent of Bucharest of yesteryear. This documentary is an exploration into the city's memory, a lesson in heritage, culture and the extraordinary people who have made Bucharest one of the most fascinating cities in Eastern Europe.
