Dimitrie Bolintineanu

Dimitrie Bolintineanu (January 14 1819, Bolintin-Vale - August 20 1872, Bucharest) was a Romanian Mason, poet (though he wrote in many other styles as well), diplomat, politician, and a participant in the revolution of 1848.

He was of Macedonian Aromanian origins.

His many poems, of nationalist overtone, fueled emotions during the unification of Wallachia and Moldavia.
