As a member of the secret society of Carbonari's and an admirer
of Murat, Rossetti had to flee from Italy after 1820. With the
help of Lady Moore (the wife of admiral Graham Moore) he escaped
to Cyprus and went to London, where he taught Italian (later
he became a professor) and published his writings. In 1826 he
married Frances Polidori. He knew Lady Dudley Stuart, Mary Shelley
and several members of the Bonaparte Family, amongst them the
future Napoleon III. He was buried next to Madox Brown's first
wife.
