Signor Rossi, the Italian Tragedian: A Life of Passion and Performances This image showcases Signor Ernesto Rossi, the renowned Italian tragedian, in the prime of his acting career. Born in Leghorn, Rossi defied societal expectations by running away from school to pursue his passion for the stage. His early years were spent honing his craft in the traveling dramatic company of Signor Marchi. In 1847, Rossi made his first regular debut at the Milan Teatro Carcano, marking the beginning of an illustrious career. From 1848 to 1852, he traveled extensively throughout Italy with his own company, bringing new life to the Italian stage with his innovative interpretations of Shakespearean classics. Rossi's groundbreaking productions of "Othello," "King Lear," "Romeo and Juliet," "Coriolanus," "Macbeth," and "Shylock" captivated audiences and left a lasting impact on Italian theater. In 1866, Rossi returned to Paris and graced the stage with his powerful performance in "Le Cid."
