Silvestru Morariu-Andrievici

A school principal replaced his original surname with the Ukrainian-sounding Andrievici, for purposes of de-nationalization; the authorities restored Morariu upon his request in 1871.

In 1880, Morariu was elected archbishop of Cernăuți and metropolitan of Bukovina and Dalmatia; his consecration took place in Vienna that April.

[1] While in office, Morariu campaigned for the preservation of ecclesiastical autonomy and for the rights of the province's Romanians.

He helped expand the network of Romanian-language village schools and ensured their endowment with textbooks.

He was among the first Bukovina Romanians to write sonnets (of which he published four) and fables (Cucoșul curcănit, “The Turkeyed Rooster”).
