Rossi was born on August 15, 1949, in Milan, Italy. He attended Collegio San Carlo Milano from 1964 to 1965 and later studied at Liceo Linguistico Internazionale from 1965 to 1967, where he focused on languages.

Rossi began his career as a photographer, with his first work published in Sport Illustrato in 1966, covering the Monza Formula 1 Grand Prix. In 1967, he became a war photographer, capturing conflicts in the Middle East, Africa, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Later, he worked with sports and travel magazines. In 1977, he founded Action Press, and in 1978, he launched the Italian branch of The Image Bank (TIB) in Milan and Rome. In 2004, he founded TIPS Images & Film and continued his photography career. Later, Rossi focused on aerial photography, combining it with flying, logging 1,600 flight hours as a pilot. Andy Warhol's famous NYC Statue of Liberty painting is an art version of one of his aerial images. His photos have appeared in Italian and international media. He has published 38 photobooks, including three self-published editions supporting the charity Il Pane Quotidiano in Milan. In 2014, Rossi sold TIPS and started new projects. He joined Rotary Club Milano Nord and led the Migration Project (2016–2019), training 400 young Africans and developing an Italian language book and app. As part of Rotary Club Milano Villoresi, he was involved in two projects: a mobile dental clinic for the Italian Red Cross and Mare Nostrum, which removes lost fishing nets from Italian shores.
