An imposing figure of Romanian science and culture, Ion Simionescu (1873–1944) devoted his entire life to the study of nature, thus greatly enhancing the geological studies. Due to the nature of his interests, he would travel across the country, coming to know the beauties of the landscapes and, equally, the people in place. Through his conferences and writings, he urged the nation, especially the youth, to become aware of its main purpose: Romania's evolution and growth. His scientific contributions remain of invaluable support for the researchers who followed in his footsteps.
