We've been here for a long time, ready for the long ride. We've been makers of history, we've been shaping culture and taming nature.
Scornicesti is situated in an arid, agricultural area and it has been atested that the ground where our town stands today has been populated since late neolithic. There have also been discovered traces of Dacian settlements from the 2nd century B.C. and Daco-Roman settlements from the 1st and 2nd century A.C., which is a very important period in the shaping of the Romanian culture, hence the name "makers of history."
traces of the past...
how much of what must have been
is still underground?
they made history
and history changed with them -
cherishing today
In 1918, Nicolae Ceausescu, the former president and dictator of Romania is born in Scornicesti, which was at that moment just a small village. After Ceausescu became Romania's president, Scornicesti started blooming and it finally received the status of town in 1989, shortly before the Revolution which lead to the removal of Ceausescu from his position and then to his death. Ever since Scornicesti stagnated, as if the time had stopped.
what once ascended,
reaching a maximum bloom
is now forgotten
This is one of the town's emblem's over time.
