Giorgio Giacinto Rossetti (d. 1779) started his career as a potter at Lodi and moved to Turin in the early 1730s, working in both places during the early part of the decade. By 1736-7 he was based solely in Turin. He signed his pieces both in Italian and Latin and quite frequently he added the location, Lodi or Torino, and the date. A tray signed by the potter is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, museum no. C.40-1910.
