I have just published a press release on Sever Iustian, romanian painter, grand-grand-grandson of Ioan Lado de Zakal, also a painter, born in 1831.
Ioan Lado de Zakal painted many churches in Bucovina and Basarabia until he left for South America and was never heard of again.
He was a Romanian noble man born in Săcalul de Pădure from a family known since 1600.
He spent 25 years in Italy and came back with a team to build roads, railroads and tunnels in Romania.
He also built and was a teacher in a public school in the Răstoliţa village.
The information on Ioan Lado de Zakal is available only in romanian language here.
