Giovanni Battista Scalabrini (1839-1905) -- Catholic bishop
Scalabrini was bishop of Piacenza (Italy) and visited the United States only once, in Jul-Nov 1901, but his work had the greatest impact on the life of Italian Americans. On 28 November 1887 he founded the Missionaries of Saint Charles (also known as the Scalabrinians) to assist Italian migrants and later on 19 March 1889 in Codogno dispatched Frances Xavier Cabrini and six others to go to the United States of America to tend to orphans and ill Italian migrants who had a concentrated cluster in New York City.
