ROSSETTI, CARLO. - Cardinal, b. at Ferrara in 1614, d. at Faenza on 23 Nov. 1681.

Apostolic nuncio in England in 1639, on account of the hostility of the Puritans, who attempted to assassinate him, he had to leave the Island. He was, therefore, extraordinary nuncio at Cologne (1642) and legate of Urban VIII at the Congress of the Peace of Münster (1643). Bishop of Faenza from 1643 to 1676, where he held nine synods, he was created cardinal by Urban VIII in 1643; he was also bishop of Frascati (1676) and then of Porto and S. Rufina (1680).
