Everything about C A Rosetti totally explained
Constantin Alexandru Rosetti (
2 June 1816–
8 April 1885) was a
Romanian literary and political leader, born in
Bucharest into a
Phanariot Greek family.
In 1845, Rosetti went to
Paris, where he met
Alphonse de Lamartine, the patron of the Society of Romanian Students in Paris. In 1847, he married
Mary Grant, the sister of the English consul to Bucharest,
Effingham Grant. The consul was married to Zoia Racoviţă, the daughter of
Alexandru Racoviţă; the
Grant Bridge (
Podul Grant) near
Gara de Nord in Bucharest is named after him.
Rosetti took part in the
Wallachian Revolution of 1848. He was among the first arrested by Prince
Gheorghe Bibescu, who accused Rosetti of plotting to kill him. After the provisional government came to power on
June 11,
1848, he held the post of chief of
police. He was also the editor of the first newspaper of the Muntenian revolution,
Pruncul Român. He served with
Nicolae Bălcescu,
Alexandru G. Golescu and
Ion C. Brătianu as a secretary of the Provisional Government until the end of June. In August, he was appointed director of the Ministry of the Interior.
After the bloody crushing of the revolution on
September 13,
1848, Rosetti was arrested along with the other leaders of the revolution. His wife's intervention was crucial in their release. Rosetti, along with the Brătianu brothers, Bălcescu, and others, went into exile in
France. While in France, he published a review favouring the creation of a national unitary state.
In 1861, he returned to Romania, and was elected
deputy, and in 1866 was minister of public instruction. Between
15 July and
16 July 1866, he was the temporary
Prime Minister of Romania.
He supported the
deposition of
Alexander John Cuza in 1866. He headed the Chamber of Deputies in 1877, and was Minister of the Interior between 1881 and 1882.
A street (
Strada C. A. Rosetti) and a square (
Piaţa Rosetti) in central Bucharest are named after him.
A high school in Bucharest was also named after him
