ATTIMIS, TRISTANO de. - Jesuit missionary and martyr; born on July 28, 1707 at Attimis, in Friuli, into a noble family; in 1725 he entered the Society of Jesus at Bologna; in 1743 he set out for the missions of China, arriving at Macao in 1744, and the following year he was assigned to the mission of Nanking. His apostolate was brief and took place amid many difficulties, since the persecution had broken out again; in 1747 he was captured, and for nine months he had to endure imprisonment, until on Sept. 14, 1748 he was strangled together with the superior of the mission, Fr. Antonio Giuseppe Henriquez, a Portuguese.
