Cezar Bolliac

Cezar Bolliac or Boliac, Boliak (March 23, 1813 – February 25, 1881) was a Wallachian and Romanian radical political figure, amateur archaeologist, journalist and Romantic poet.

Born in Bucharest as the son of Anton Bogliako (Bogliacco or Bolliac), a Greek-Italian physician, and his wife Zinca Pereţ, who remarried the stolnic Petrache Pereţ; his adoptive father took care of Cezar's education. After being taught reading and writing at home, Bolliac studied at the Saint Sava Academy, under Ion Heliade Rădulescu - Rădulescu was to become one of his most important collaborators.

In 1830, he joined the newly refounded Wallachian Army as a member of its officer corps. Three years later, Bolliac became a member of the secret Philharmonic Society, created by Ion Câmpineanu, Rădulescu, and Constantin Aristia.

In 1835, he published his first lyrical works. A year later, he began editing the review Curiosul.

With fellow radicals Nicolae Bălcescu and Eftimie Murgu, Bolliac joined in Mitică Filipescu's conspiracy against Prince Alexandru II Ghica and, later in the year, entered the Freemasonry-inspired Frăţia ("Brotherhood") secret society.
