Rossi was mentored by Baccio Bandinelli.
Many of Rossi's works historically were incorrectly attributed to Michelangelo, such as Dying Adonis.[1]
Some of his most famous works were his sculptures of the Twelve Labours of Hercules, of which he only completed seven.[2][1] Six of these sculptures are located in at the Palazzo Vecchio.[2] The seventh labour, Hercules with Atlas, is located at the Villa di Poggio Imperiale.
His statue St. Joseph with Christ as a Child resides in the Pantheon in Rome.[3]
