Life

At the age of four, Rosi had an appearance as a child actor in Ferdinando Maria Poggioli's Sissignora ; He came back to film at the beginning of the 1960s and was initially used almost exclusively in youth comedies and light-hearted music films. Rosi was considered one of the most promising hopes of Italian cinema beyond its status as a blonde, good-looking teenage crush. However, his popularity in these films, in which he mostly interpreted the second or third male role alongside Ettore Manni , Enio Girolami or Antonio Cifariello , prevented jobs in more demanding films, apart from his appearance as an officer in the big ball sceneLuchino Viscontis The Leopard and the more substantial portrayal in Luciano Salce's La voglia matta in the following year, 1964. From 1968 he changed his image and his name and appeared as Stan Cooper in the leading role of films of all possible genres, often adventurous in nature or war films , in particular gladly under director José Luis Merino . In 1973 he ended his acting career and went to South America, where he a. a. worked as a film and video producer in Rio de Janeiro .
