At the cemetery (Valentina Vaseva, 16.06.1997)

This is the name of the municipality that includes the village Filipescu, where in the third quarter of the twentieth century resided approximately 300 Bulgarian families. The village was founded in the eighteenth century and was mentioned in connection with Bulgarian settlers in 1793–1806 and 1828–1834 (Roman, L. 1984: 138). According to documents from 1829 the presence of “Serbs” in the village can be dated as far back as the 1780s (Velichi, C. N. 1965: 73). The 1838 registry of the population records the presence of 7 “Serbian” households in Măgurelele lui Vilano (Velichi, C. N. 1965: 113). In 1906 S. Romanski found in Broscăria (as Filipescu was called at the time) 77 households with a total number of the population 389 persons, all of them Bulgarian. Local lore has it that they originate from Provdiv Region (Жечев, Н. 1983: 54; Младенов, М. С. 1993: 41; Младенов, М., Б. Нягулов, Н. Жечев 1994: 227). Funeral rites are discussed in Васева, В. 2001. Regarding traditional culture at the end of the 20th century see Васева, В. 2011. Ganka Mikhaylova’s recently published 1971 fieldnotes present information about rites of passage, festivals during the calendar year, folk songs and traditional costumes in Măgurele (Георгиев, Г., Г. Михайлова 2018: 299–303).
