Jules Rossi was an Italian professional road racing cyclist, born on 3 November 1914 and died on 30 June 1968. He became an orphan at the age of six and came to France to live in Nogent-sur-Marne with the rest of his family. He began serious cycling at 14 in 1928 and by 1933 was one of the top amateurs in France, riding for the Velo Club de Levallois. He turned professional in 1934 with the Alcyon-Dunlop team and won Paris-Roubaix in 1937, the first Italian to win that cobbled classic, aged just 23. In 1938 he won Paris-Tours at a record professional average speed, earning the Ruban Jaune, and also won a stage of the Tour de France.
