Pacifico Tiziano Micheloni

Father Micheloni was the first to make use of the permits, and this allowed him in the months of May and June 1931, to travel throughout Somalia, where he organized numerous meetings with Somali Catholics and tribal leaders who requested the need for missionaries[7] in their area.

Micheloni returned to the Vicariate, where he was able to maintain diplomatic relations with The British Empire to expand the missionary presence in Somalia, which, at that time, consisted of only one religious, Father Adolfo da Lasalla.

An initial disapproval from the British Authorities,[1] all be expressed unofficially, was followed by a severe stiffening of the permissions granted, motivated by "alleged" street demonstrations by the Missionaries.

Msgr, Micheloni later stated that – "the governor, moved by fears for himself and the religious, regretted the concessions and had himself staged the demonstration to justify the sudden change.

Micheloni traveled all over Somalia again, with the company of a young Christian, and often had numerous requests to remain in the Villages without ever being marked as inconsiderate.

Unfortunately, the extended stay in Aden slowly but surely took a toll on the young bishop's health, who was forced to leave the mission and left for Italy, he died in Rome on 6 June 1936 at the age of 55.
