Giovanni Antonio de' Rossi was an Italian architect of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome.

Life

He was a contemporary of Carlo Rainaldi.
In 1657, he completed the sacristy of Tivoli Cathedral.
At about the time he became the architect of the Monte di Pietà in Rome until his death and built its oval chapel from the 1650s onwards.
For Pope Clement X he carried out an extensive and hurried refurbishment of the family's Palazzo Altieri near the Church of Il Gesù.
He erected the church of Santa Maria in Campo Marzio in 1682-1685 and was involved in the design of the Cappella Lancellotti in St John Lateran.
His Palazzo D'Aste-Bonaparte on Piazza Venezia influenced the later designs of Alessandro Specchi's Palazzo de Carolis and Tommaso de Marchis' Palazzo Millini-Cagiati.
