Luigia de' Rossi

Luigia de' Rossi was one of the six children of the Parmese condottiero Pietro de' Rossi and Ginella Fieschi of Calestano, who married in 1328. Her five siblings were Luchina, Teodora, Fresca, Isabella and the knight Bernardo.

Their father, serving Venice as captain of the anti-Scaliger league, was killed by a lance at the siege of Monselice on 8 August 1337 and buried in Padua, leaving the children young.
