Mihail Kogălniceanu's Masonic Insignias / The History of Romania in One Object

The next episode in the Romanian history saga takes us to the heart of the 19th century when a "golden generation" of politicians, forged in the liberal revolutions of 1848, began to develop and conceptualize the idea of bringing together all Romanian provinces in one, unified state. A prominent leader of this group of true founders of modern Romania was Mihail Kogălniceanu who, like most of his fellow reformers, was a Mason initiated and trained in the radical, republican lodges of France. Here is his story and his world. Text by historian and curator Mihaela-Petronela Tudose of Moldavia's History Museum in Iași. Video presentation by historian Ioan Iațcu. Film by Mihai Neagu.
