Pietro de' Rossi

Pietro de' Rossi (1303–1337) was the Emilian condottiero Venice set against the Scaligers. A son of Guglielmo de' Rossi of Parma, he had fought for the future Emperor Charles IV and held Lucca in vicariate until the Scaligers drove him out in 1334.

In 1336 Doge Francesco Dandolo hired him and his brothers Rolando and Marsilio, naming Pietro commander of the anti-Scaliger league's troops. He razed the Saline castle at Chioggia, and on 3 August 1337 Padua surrendered to him through his uncle Marsilio da Carrara; Alberto II della Scala was captured.

Five days later, in the first assault on Monselice, a Monselice peasant killed Pietro with a lance. He was buried in the Basilica of Saint Anthony at Padua.
