He collaborated extensively with the French painter Jean-François Bosio, who worked under the name Giovanni Battista Bosio while in Milan under the French occupation. Rados' plates after Bosio include a portrait of the French viceroy Eugène de Beauharnais (1807) and illustrations for an updated Milanese equivalent of Carracci's ''Cries of Bologna'', published under the title of ''I costumi di Milano e suoi circondari''. Rados also engraved many of the portraits drawn by Bosio for the second volume of the ''Serie di vite e ritratti de'famosi personaggi degli ultimi tempi'', a three-volume collection of illustrated biographies published in Milan between 1815 and 1818.<ref>Draper 1978</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}}
