The presence of casa mare, one of the key and most striking elements of traditional culture, in the urban environment of Chisinau attests preservation of a close relationship between rural and urban culture in Moldova. It is primarily related to the peculiarities of the urbanization process that took place during the last 70 years, which resulted in the formation of a heterogeneous urban population, the majority of which maintains links with the village and preserves certain rural practices. Moreover, rural traditional culture is a key element in maintaining national identity, as it provides continuity and uniqueness in a globalized world. This explains its popularization at the level of cultural policy and its visible presence in the urban environment. While festivals, celebrations and other urban events are dominated by the musical component of traditional culture, the visual aspect of the urban environment reflects elements of casa mare. The representative room of the village house furnished and decorated with the most beautiful objects and performing a number of ritual functions, could not “move” to the city together with the bearers of culture. Nevertheless, some of its functions have now passed to restaurants (family rituals and holidays) and folk form of ornaments, colors of carpets and embroidery has undergone a number of transformations and is present in the modern urban environment
