The Transylvanian society of the second half of the nineteenth century went through fundamental changes, which determined a turnover of social order, including the amorous practices and the model of life in two. As the traditional backgrounds of life are broken, the attempts towards emancipation from family and community authority are more and more frequent. Local particularities influenced the rhythms of this process, each community contributing to defining the general image. Through its multiethnic and multi-denominational character, the Saxon Reghin is representative for the Transylvania of the nineteenth century, the Romanian community in this area offering an interesting example of balance between rural and urban model, as it is at its first or at best second generation who lives in town between the exigencies of tradition and the challenges of modernity.
