Renzo Rossi was born on January 23, 1951, in Giacciano con Baruchella, near Rovigo.
He started playing football in Serie D with Passirio Merano. He stayed in the fourth tier until 1973 when he signed for Como. After a year when he was in the first eleven and scored seven league goals in Serie B, he was noticed by Inter. He went to Milan and debuted in Serie A on November 10 in the derby. But he played just 8 league games with one goal and in 1975 went back to the lakeside. Como in the meantime had been promoted to Serie A but they were immediately relegated.
In 1976 he signed for Lazio. The Biancocelesti were looking for a backup forward who could help their rising star, Bruno Giordano. He stayed just one year, made 16 appearances and scored four goals.
In 1977 he moved to Catanzaro where he stayed for two seasons, the first in Serie B and the second in Serie A. He ended his career at Taranto where he played for three seasons from 1979 to 1981.
Renzo Rossi will be remembered mainly for being with Luciano Re Cecconi earlier in the evening he died. He had then left Cecco and Pietro Ghedin's company because he had things to do. Later that evening Re Cecconi was shot as he entered a jeweller’s.
