ANNIBALE DA GENOVA. - Born on September 1, 1723, at the age of 17 he entered the Capuchin Friars Minor; ordained a priest, he preached for several years in Liguria, but, desiring to bring the Gospel to the unbelievers, he was assigned in 1751 to the island of São Tomé, where, preaching, baptizing and instructing, he traveled through much of the territory; in 1755 he moved to the nearby island of Príncipe; in 1756 he landed at Benin; finally in 1757 he transferred to Brazil. Having returned to his homeland after 17 years of apostolate, he died at Genoa in 1785. He wrote a detailed account of his travels, still in manuscript in the general archive of the Order: Viaggio in Africa e America portuguesa fatto dal P. Annibale da Genova, missionario apostolico cappuccino, ecc.
