Biography
Biography
Eftimiu was of Albanian origin, but also had Aromanian descent through his father Gheorghe Eftimiu, a merchant. Eftimiu's mother was Maria Eftimiu, née Cociu. Victor Eftimiu was born in Boboshticë near Korçë. In 1905, he emigrated from Albania to Romania, where he found work as a theatre manager in 1913. He published several books of poetry, and wrote comedies and satirical pieces for the theatre. He also wrote a volume of Romanian fairy tales, and several children's books. He wrote also criticisms and articles for numerous magazines. He died in 1972 and was buried at Bellu Cemetery. Eftimiu lived in a house next to the Cișmigiu Gardens, in central Bucharest. The street where the house is located is named after him; a Bust of Victor Eftimiu, sculpted by Dimitrie Paciurea in 1929, is in the house's garden. Streets in Arad, Cluj-Napoca, and Pitești are also named after him.
