Signor Rossi, the Italian Tragedian, 1876. Creator: Unknown

Signor Rossi, the Italian Tragedian, 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Ambrosetti of Turin. Ernesto Rossi...a native of Leghorn...ran away from school in his boyhood to go on the stage. After a short apprenticeship in the travelling dramatic company of Signor Marchi, the young actor entered the school of Modena, and in 1847 made his first regular debut at the Milan Teatro Carcano. From 1848 to 1852 Rossi travelled about in Italy with a company of his own...[He] attempted to introduce Shakspeare [sic] to the Italians. His "Othello" was followed by "King Lear, " "Romeo and Juliet, " "Coriolanus, " "Macbeth, " and "Shylock."...In 1866 Rossi returned to Paris and played "Le Cid"...A short visit to Spain followed...He then went to South America, and played at Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco, Montevideo, Buenos Ayres, Santiago, Valparaiso, and Lima'.
