Iuliu Cezar Săvescu

Iuliu Cezar Săvescu (September 22, 1866 – March 9, 1903) was a Romanian poet.

Biography Born in Brăila to the civil servant Eulampiu Săvescu and his wife Fania, he attended primary school and the first years of high school in his native city. He then continued his studies at Bucharest's Saint Sava High School, where his teacher Bonifaciu Florescu introduced him to Alexandru Macedonski's circle. Thanks to the latter's efforts, he secured a post as proofreader at Monitorul Oficial. He led an increasingly dissolute Bohemian lifestyle. It is not known if and when he completed high school; according to some sources, he may have audited classes at the University of Bucharest's literature faculty, without graduating. It is also unknown when he made his debut; this may have taken place in 1888 in Peleșul magazine, with the poem "Pe când cerul vieței mele". He was an editor at Duminica magazine in 1890, and also published in Liga literară (among other writings, he submitted translations of Edgar Allan Poe), Literatorul, Convorbiri literare, Tribuna familiei, Ilustrațiunea română, Fântâna Blanduziei, Revista orientală, Foaia pentru toți, Românul and Liberalul.
