Carlo Rossetti (diplomat)

Carlo Rossetti (1876–1948) was the second Italian consul to Korea, serving from November 1902 to May 1903. Before being posted to the consulate in Seoul, he was a lieutenant in the Italian Royal Navy. While in Korea, he took photographs of Korean people in various capacities, the first such produced by a Westerner according to Lucio Izzo, director of the Italian Cultural Institute.[1] Upon his return to Italy in 1904, he wrote and talked about his time in Korea.[2][3]
