Biography
Biography
Born in Verona, Rossi was writing religious verse by the time that he was 13 years old. He wrote libretti for about 60 years, beginning in 1797 with mostly farsas. Rossi wrote the texts for some significant operas by the well-known composers of the era. These included Tancredi and Semiramide for Rossini and Il crociato in Egitto for Meyerbeer, as well as later operas for Donizetti such as Maria Padilla (as co-author) and Linda di Chamounix. In addition to his writing, he also worked for a time as the stage director for the Teatro Filarmonico in Verona. Musicologist John Black regards him as producing crude versification, "but nevertheless he had an eye for dramatic situations and his texts, if long-winded, were effective." His success was twofold: in finding mostly foreign sources to utilize as well as introducing "strongly romantic plots to the Italian stage".

A further 62 rows were returned by the same open archives and are not shown here, because the only tie between them and this person was lexical: the name appeared in a title, a description or a series heading without the register stating any relation to Rossi. They are kept in the evidence layer and return the moment a relation is demonstrated. The register's own description is kept rather than reclassified, so a reader can see what each institution says it holds. Maria Padilla; melodramma in tre atti, di Gaetano Rossi.
