BALANGERO, GIOVANNI BATTISTA. - Missionary and writer. Born at Envie (Saluzzo) on 12 June 1849, he entered the Brignole-Sale college of Genoa in 1868, and set out for Australia in 1872, whence, in 1884, he moved on to Ceylon. Having returned in 1895, he was director of the Convitto nazionale of Turin; then he went to the United States, to Cincinnati, where he died on 7 May 1919. He wrote his biographical recollections, which still present a certain interest: Australia e Ceylon. Studi e ricordi di tredici anni di missione (1897).
