Gabriele Pasquale Giuseppe Rossetti (28 February 1783 – 24 April 1854) was an Italian nobleman, poet, constitutionalist, scholar, and founder of the secret society Carbonari who emigrated to England.
He was a member of the Italian noble and Boyar princely Rossetti family. Rossetti was born in Vasto in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies; the original family of his ancestors was della Gherardesca.
Since many members of the della Gherardesca family had red hair, they adopted the nickname "Rossetti" approximately four generations before Gabriele's birth.
He was a Roman Catholic.
Rossetti's support for Italian revolutionary nationalism forced him into political exile in 1821.
