Franco Rossetti (1 October 1930 – 11 June 2018) was an Italian film director and screenwriter.
Born in Siena, Rossetti started his career as a film critic, then in the early 1950s he entered the film industry as an assistant director.[1] With the rise of the Spaghetti Western genre, Rossetti developed a solid reputation as a screenwriter, especially thanks to the screenplays of Django, Texas, Adios and Johnny Oro.[1] He made his directorial debut in 1967 with the western The Dirty Outlaws, and then he directed seven more films, spanning different genres.[1][2] Rossetti died in Rome on 11 June 2018, at the age of 87.[3]
