Iosefin Neighbourhood and Valeria dr Pintea | Spotlight Heritage Timișoara | 2019

The life of the Iosefin district of Timișoara is illustrated through the history and story of Valeria Dr. Pintea (1893 - 1984).
Born in city of Lugoj into the family of Isidor and Olga Chirița, Valeria married the doctor Vasile Pintea in 1913 and settled in the Iosefin neighbourhood of Timișoara, where she died in 1984 at the age of 91.

We went in search of Valeria's vanished world, in the realm of THE STORIES OF ONE OF THE MANY in the Iosefin neighbourhood. We started with Valeria's stories, which we integrated into the theme of the Auditory Sense. This decision started a yearning to present the Timisoara's background, history and culture through the allegory of the senses.

The excerpts are from the novel Valeria dr. Pintea (author: Liana Maria Gomboșiu, Timișoara, Editura Marineasa, 2013), provided by the author.
