Adolfo Rossi

Adolfo Rossi (30 April 1857 – 28 July 1921) was an Italian journalist, writer and diplomat. Starting as an aspiring but poor emigrant in New York City, he helped establish the Italian-language daily ''Il Progresso Italo-Americano'' despite having little prior experience. Upon returning to Italy, he rose to prominence as a journalist, contributing to the country’s leading newspapers and gaining recognition for both his investigative work at home and his war reporting abroad.

He later served as an itinerant inspector for the Italian government's General Commissariat for Emigration (Italian: ''Commissariato Generale dell'Emigrazione''), where his detailed reports on the troubling conditions faced by Italian migrants in Brazil, South Africa, the United States and Argentina played a key role in prompting reforms in Rome’s migration policies. Ultimately, he was appointed as a diplomat with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Americas. Provided by Wikipedia
