(ANSA) - TRIESTE - The "Palatul Primaverii", the building that was, for 25 years, the luxurious private residence of the former Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and of his wife Elena, will soon be put up for sale by the government in Bucharest. According to Romanian news agency Mediafax, this decision was made due to the too high costs of maintenance of the villa, which is rarely used, in particular as accommodation for foreign heads of state on an official visit, in line with what the Romanian authorities had established after the democratic breakthrough in 1989. According to several media in Bucharest, the interiors of the Palatul Primaverii, built in the mid-sixties, following Ceausescu's instructions on a 14 thousand square metre plot, became very renowned after the fall of Ceausescu, when images of the luxurious furniture, of the big swimming pool and of the gold taps in the many bathrooms were disclosed on the national TV. Part of the furniture and clothes belonging to the presidential couple, still hosted in the villa, will be destroyed because they are in very poor condition, Tv Romania has explained. The "Conducator" and his wife Elena were executed after a summary trial, which represented the acme of the Romanian revolution, on December 25, 1989. (ANSA).
