Born and educated in
Iași, Panu spent many years in
Huși, where around 1845 he was named tribunal member, later rising to president. In 1847, his political support for
Lascăr Rosetti led
Prince Mihail Sturdza to dismiss Panu, detaining him at the
Galați barracks for three months. Implicated in the
1848 Revolution, he was again arrested. Panu died in Vienna. ==Notes==
