Biography:

Eduardo Rossi was an Italian sculptor born in Naples in 1867. He studied at Columbia University and Fundação Getulio Vargas. He was a rugby player and played for Stade Toulousain in the 1980s, but had to leave the club due to his racist ideas. He later changed his mind about ethnic groups and decided to spread the practice of rugby among Toba aborigines of Formosa Province in Argentina. He established the Aborigen Rugby Club in 1993, which became the first aboriginal rugby union club in Latin America. Rossi died in 1926.
