His father, Bartolomeo Andolfati, was a Commedia dell'arte actor known for playing the role of ''Pantalone''.

Rossi, later became lead comic figure and director by 1792 in the theater in the via del Cocomero in Florence, then director of the Accademia dei Filodrammatici a Milano. He also was an independent author of drams and translator of French and Spanish works to Italian.〔Treccani entry.〕 The ''Accademia Filodrammatica di Milano'' was in fact a theater company, but its theater building, designed by Polak and Canonica, promoted republican ideas, which by then were ascendant. It favored a natural equality for an audience, substituting private boxes with galleries.〔Regli, Francesco〕 His colleagues in the theater circuit were Vincènzo Monti, Carlo Porta, and others. He also helped foster the careers of Francesco Righetti and Giuditta Pasta. The theater employed Andrea Appiani as a scenographer. ==Sources== * *(Treccani Encyclopedia entry ) *( Accademia dei Filodrammatici ) *Dizionario biografico dei più celebri poeti ed artisti melodrammatici by Francesco Regli 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pietro Andolfati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
