Alexandru Vlahuță

His best known work is România pitorească, an overview of Romania's landscape in the form of a travelogue.

He was also the main editor of Sămănătorul magazine, alongside George Coșbuc.

[1] Vlahuţă was born in Pleșești (currently called Alexandru Vlahuță), in the Principality of Moldavia (present-day Vaslui County, Romania) and studied in Bârlad during his early childhood.

He took his Baccalaureate in Bucharest and afterwards attended law school for a short amount of time, but withdrew due to financial reasons.

His former home in Bucharest has been turned into a memorial museum.
