Based on the glorious bicentenary’ of the „Scoliţa ele inginerie şi hotărnicie, în limba română”, founded in Iasi, on the 15th of November 1813, for the first time in the Romanian Principalities by scholar Gheorghe Asachi, who has the merit of having inaugurated the technical higher education in Moldavia, thus writing a bright „page of the chronicle of Iaşi”, the article focuses, with gratitude, on the powerful personality of the founder: Gheorghe Asachi (1788-1869), rightly considered an illuminist, with a vast encyclopedic culture, who played an important role, maybe the biggest, in the development of the education system of all levels, of culture, art and science, in Romanian from Moldavia, pointing out, with justifying proof's, „that there is no other field of culture, art and technique in Iasi that does not claim his name as the initiator!”. Grateful, the City of Iasi built him, in 1890, a well-deserved statue..
