The House of Rosetti (also spelled Ruset, Rosset, Rossetti) was a Moldavian boyar princely family of Byzantine Greek and Italian (Genoese) origins.^[1] There are several branches of the family named after their estates: Roznovanu, Solescu, Bălănescu, Răducanu, Ciortescu, Tescanu, and Bibica. The Rosetti family in Wallachia is another branch of the family who initially settled in Moldavia.^[2]
