 Lorenzo's servants kept their distance but Rossi alone remained loving and faithful to his ailing cousin.But Lorenzo - in his eccentricities - raged that Rossi was the cause of his suffering and he often threw medicine bottles at Rossi's head so hard that Rossi often emerged from his cousin's sick room with blood on his head.In 1737 he became the canon of Santa Maria in Cosmedin after his cousin died from another stroke and he used his position to purchase a new organ for the church.
