Francesco Buzomi
Italian Jesuit missionary
Francesco Buzomi (1576–1639) was an Italian missionary in Vietnam. He was one of the first Catholic missionaries in Đàng Trong (known to the Europeans as "Cochinchina") and, along with others such as Francisco de Pina, Girolamo Maiorica and Alexandre de Rhodes, belonged to the generation of Jesuit priests in the first half of the 17th century who established the firm foundation of the Catholic Church in Vietnam.[1]
