Rosetti-Bălănescu was born in Iași, Moldavia. He came from a larger aristocratic Rosetti family, which to distinguish themselves split into four smaller families: Rosetti-Solescu, Rosetti-Roznovanu, Rosetti-Tescanu and Rosetti-Bălănescu.[3] He studied in Paris at Lycée Henri-IV and then at the Paris Law Faculty, after which he returned to Romania.[1] His wife, Olga, divorced him and then married another diplomat, Petre Mavrogheni.[4] Towards the end of his life he went back to Paris, where he died.[1] [2] He is buried at Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.
