What is lost when a village empties: a living peasant house in Florițoaia Nouă

The Culture Section published a few photographs from a peasant house kept intact in Florițoaia Nouă, in the Ungheni district — a porch with carved wooden pillars, a rail hung with woven cloths, an icon in the corner, a bread oven.
