Filotti family

The family is of Greek origin from the island of Naxos and descends from a certain Ion Filotti (Greek: Ίων Φιλώτης), who, in 1619, came to the Principality of Moldavia in the personal suite de voivode Gaspar Graziani, who was also Duke of Paros and Naxos. Ion Filotti was able to escape when Graziani was murdered. He married and settled in settled in Brăila with his son Ştefan starting a business as grain merchants - zaheregii - mainly supplying the cereals and hay required by the Turkish armies. They continued this trade for over two centuries. The Greek branch of the island of Naxos is now extinct, though local records prove that the branch continued to exist for some time. There still is a village Filoti (Greek: Φιλώτη), on the island

In 1829, after the Treaty of Adrianople and the transfer of the Brăila raya to Wallachia, the need for the supply of the Ottoman army disappeared and the Filottis had to look for other sources of income. Nestor Filotti, considered to be the patriarch of modern Filotti family started to lease and eventually became owner of the Batogu estate, which became the seat of the Filotti family till its expropriation by the communist regime.
