Giovanni Pasquali

Giovanni Pasquali (Serbian: Đovani Paskvali;[citation needed] 1586–1665) was a Catholic missionary who was in charge for Catholicization of Orthodox Serbs, first in Dalmatia and then in Montenegro and Serbia.

[4] After Leonardi's death, Pasquali succeeded him in his missionary duties in Montenegro and Serbia, which marked the beginning of large-scale planned activities on Catholicisation of the Orthodox population of this region.

[7] On 1 December 1645 he wrote a letter to the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith and requested four or five Catholic priests to be sent to the coast of Montenegro populated with Orthodox Serbs, for religious conversion purposes.

[8] On 5 August 1646 Pasquali wrote a letter to the Sacred Congregation and informed them that Kotor bishop Vićentije Buća convinced many people to accept Catholicism.

[9] On 29 April 1648 Pasquali reported from Grbalj that he had a lot of work due to the region being full of Serb newcomers who again applied for Venetian service.
