Bernardo de' Rossi

Bernardo de' Rossi (26 August 1468 – 28 June 1527) was an Italian bishop and patron of the arts.

Rossi was the son of a feudal family of the area of Parma, at a young age he received the archdeaconate of Padua and the Abbey of St. Crisogonus in Zadar.

In 1503, de' Rossi entered into conflict with the Venetian podestà of Treviso, Girolamo Contarini.

He eventually clashed against the condottiero Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, who had come to help his sister-in-law Bianca Riario, the wife of Troilo I de' Rossi.

Bernardo de' Rossi fled to Parma in 1524, and died a few years later, perhaps poisoned by his nephews Giovan Girlamo and Bertrando.
