Akaki Tsereteli

Akaki Tsereteli was born in 1840 in the village of Skhvitori, in Imereti, the son of Prince Rostom Tsereteli and Princess Ekaterine, great-granddaughter of King Solomon I of Imereti. Following an old family custom, he spent his first years in a peasant family in the village of Savane, which gave him his attachment to the rural world. A graduate of the Kutaisi gymnasium in 1852 and of the faculty of oriental languages at St Petersburg in 1863, he led, with Ilia Chavchavadze, the national movement of the sixties. He died in 1915.
