While my relationship with Martha LeBlanc, nee Rossi, dated back to our play pen years and kindergarten days, lately we've hiked different paths, reducing our contact to Christmas cards and once a month phone calls.
He was entrusted with the task of drawing up a revised constitution, which was known as the Pacte Rossi.
As a statesman, Rossi was a man of signal ability and intrepid character, but it is as an economist that his name will be best remembered.
As a republic its government was mainly in the hands of the Rossi, Pallavicino, Correggio and Sanvitale families.
At Ravenna we find the Polenta family, at Rimini the Malatestas, at Parma the Rossi, at Piacenza the Scotti, at Faenza the Manfredi.
