BONAZZI, GIUSEPPE MARIA. - Friar Minor, missionary in Chile, b. in Rome on 15 June 1814, d. in Peru in 1869. He set out for the missions in 1837 and was ordained a priest in Dec. of the following year in Santiago de Chile. Incorporated into the missionary college of Castro, he was subsequently parish priest of Lemny and Tenau, president of the hospice of Ancud, procurator of the college and of the missions, rector of the diocesan seminary, diocesan counsellor, professor of Latin and parish priest of the cathedral. In 1850 he was sent as a missionary among the Araucanians in Tucapel. The natives suspected him of being a political agent of the government, and when, in his zeal to root out polygamy and other abuses, he committed certain imprudences, he was forced to withdraw. In 1852 he was appointed missionary in Nacimiento. After a brief stay in Valparaiso, from 1855 to 1860 he was a missionary in Osorno, where he built a church and a convent. In 1864 he left the missions of Chile and set out for Peru. B. is the author of a valuable history of the Araucanian missions in Chile, which remained unpublished but was used by Fr. Marcellino da Civezza and others.
