BRUNO, ANTONIO. - Jesuit missionary, b. in Messina ca. 1588, entered the novitiate on 6 Jan. 1605. Having set out for the Indies, he completed his theological studies at Goa, from where he sailed in 1620 for Ethiopia. He worked with zeal and success at Fremona, Collela (1624), Adaxà (1626) and again at Collela (1631). But expelled from Ethiopia by the new emperor Fasiladas together with the patriarch Mendez and the other missionaries (1633), he died at Goa on 8 Sept. 1640.
