'''Luigi Rados''' (19 October 1773 – 1840) was an Italian [engraver](/source/engraver).

==Life==
Rados was born in [Parma](/source/Parma) and educated at the  city's academy.<ref>Bryan 1889</ref>

He collaborated extensively with the French painter [Jean-François Bosio](/source/Jean-Fran%C3%A7ois_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](/source/Eug%C3%A8ne_de_Beauharnais) (1807)  and illustrations for  an updated Milanese equivalent  of   [Carracci](/source/Annibale_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>
