Vincenzo Bracco

Giovanni Vincenzo Bracco (14 September 1835 – 19 June 1889) was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from 1873 to his death in 1889.

John Vincent Bracco studied in Porto Maurizio and entered at the Alberga Seminary in 1854 to prepare to the priesthood.

He taught philosophy and was from 1862 until his death rector of the seminary in Jerusalem.

His episcopal ordination was given to him on 13 May 1866 by reigning patriarch Giuseppe Valerga, and his co-consecrators were the Vicar Apostolic of Galla and later Cardinal Guglielmo Massaia, OFM Cap, and an Armenian bishop.
