CARRARA, CAMILLO. - Born at Albino on 14 March 1871, died at Cheren on 15 June 1924. He became a religious among the Lombard Friars Minor Capuchin on 7 Sept. 1887, and was their provincial minister (1905-11). As first vicar apostolic of the mission in the Eritrean colony (26 Feb. 1911), entrusted to the Lombard Capuchins, he increased the native clergy and parishes, established mission centers among pagan tribes, and erected school buildings for natives and Italians as well as schools of arts and crafts. With the printing press of Asmara he spread sacred learning and Italian culture. He had a splendid cathedral built at Asmara, where he was buried (1926).
