The House of Rosetti (also spelled Ruset, Rosset, Rossetti) was a boyar Hospodar family of Byzantine Greek and Italian (Genoese) origins.[ About the origin of Rosettis] 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.[ Dicţionar istoric, arheologic şi geografic al României, 1937, pp. 450-451]
