Sándor Petőfi's memorial plaque in Bratislava

On the facade of the building, which Hungarians in Bratislava call Blaskovics House, a bronze work by the Hungarian sculptor Gyula Mag was unveiled on December 5, 2011. Petőfi was happy to come to Bratislava, and this may be the reason why a serious Petőfi cult developed in the city at the turn of the century. The first concrete sign of this was that, at the initiative of the Toldy Circle, a memorial plaque was placed on the wall of the Blaskovics House on March 15, 1900. On the house in which the poet, who was working hard on the "Bratislava diet", lived. The original Petőfi plaque disappeared under mysterious circumstances after World War II, but its text survived. ; Szalatnai Rezső writes in his book Petőfi in Bratislava: "At that time he moved from Ujházy and with a smiling face moved to the nearby Apácapályá (later Bél Mátyás Street). There, in the Blaskovits-style house at No. 25, which is also clearly visible from the main route, Szárazvám, he got a room, in the back yard, with a tailor who kept boarding students. A lyceum student named Portier, also an acquaintance from Aszód, was the commendable apartment seeker. Apparently the helpful student also helped the poet with the "moving", walking in front with the nationally famous walking stick and bag, happy to be near his famous acquaintance."
