Rosini was a member of the Royal Herculaneum Academy after its reorganization, and was one of the most active in deciphering ancient manuscripts, of which he published a great number. They are included in the Herculanensia Volumina (Naples, 1793). Rosini died at Naples on February 18, 1836. His works are all on archaeological subjects, the principal one being Dissertatio isagogica ad Herculanensium Voluminum explanationem (ibid. 1797), a long treatise about the excavations happening at Herculaneum.
