BARTOLOMEO dello SPIRITO SANTO. - Discalced Carmelite (secular name Giacinto Torricelli), a native of Modena (1640), he professed in Milan (1656); in 1676 he was at the seminary of the missions in Rome, and with other confreres he was sent to Malabar to provide for the election of a successor to the aged apostolic vicar Alessandro de Campo. Despite threats and intrigues he succeeded in carrying out his mission, and he worked until his death to reunite the schismatic churches with Rome. He died in 1680 at Mattinceri, poisoned by the schismatics.
