Biography
Biography
He married Tina Billi in 1937 and had two children: Gianluigi Rosso and Valeria Rosso. He lost almost all of his possessions during World War II, moving to Brazil in 1947 (his family arrived the following year). In São Paulo, he started working in the Arts Department of Editora Brasilgráfica. After that, he became a freelance illustrator, drawing covers and comics for several publishers. Rosso has worked with all comic book genres, but his main works were in the horror genre, including the Coffin Joe comics. He was also a professor at the Escola Panamericana de Artes, which he co-founded. He retired in 1976 for health reasons and died in 1981 after suffering three heart attacks. In 1986, he was awarded posthumously with the Prêmio Angelo Agostini for Master of National Comics, an award that aims to honor artists who have dedicated themselves to Brazilian comics for at least 25 years.
