Life
Rados was born in Parma and educated at the city's academy.

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.
