Magnații uitați din Bucureștii Noi. Alexandru și Maria Costescu, cuplul care ținea prima pagină a ziarelor interbelice

Alexandru and Maria Costescu were prominent figures in early 20th century Bucharest, known for their wealth and contributions to the city's development. Alexandru, a major landowner and public official, played a key role in establishing the Bucureștii Noi area. He was responsible for the parceling of land that now includes several neighborhoods. Maria gained notoriety after her tragic murder during a robbery, making headlines in the interwar period. Their legacy continues, with both buried in the Bellu Cemetery, where a medieval-style tower stands in their memory.
