ROLUL FAMILIEI MOCIONI ÎN FORMAREA INTELECTUALITĂȚII ROMÂNEȘTI DIN BANAT
THE ROLE OF THE MOCIONI FAMILY IN THE FORMATION OF THE ROMANIAN INTELLECTUALS FROM BANAT

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses, on the basis of archival sources and specialized literature, the role and contribution of the Mocioni family to the educational scholarship support of young Romanians from Banat and Transylvania in the second half of the 19th century. The remarkable amount (26720 florins), corresponding to 261 scholarships granted by the Mocioni family (Andrei, George and Ecaterina) in the years 1860-1870, was valuable and offered to the young Romanians, with poor family backgrounds, the chance to attend the highest European level of education. The main outcome was the increase in the number of Romanian „inteligenția” (elite) and, accordingly, the intensification of the national movement of Romanians in Transylvania and Banat in the 19th century and early 20th century.
