Giovanni Battista Sidotti
Giovanni Battista Sidotti, an apostolic missionary, was born in 1668. He was dispatched to Japan in order to propagate Christianity. In those days, it was a highly perilous mission. He pretended to be a samurai but was unable to persuade them. They apprehended him and imprisoned him till he died in 1714. Many consider him to be “the last missionary.”
