Enrico Morsiani was born in 1979 in Castel San Pietro Terme (BO) and decided to work under the pseudonym of Luca Rossi.

Between 2005 and 2010 he attended “ImproTeatro” theater improvisation courses and today he works on the field of communication.

Luca Rossi was defined “the most interesting personality” in Italy by Fabio Cavallucci,and “the new Vanessa Beecroft” by Giacinto Di Pietrantonio. In 2011 Alfredo Cramerotti (curator of “Manifesta” and Museum Director Mostyn, Wales) wrote: “To be honest, I’m not Roberta (a 2011 project by Luca Rossi) made me think more than dozens of other projects I have seen “live”.
