J. Michael Walker has brought Fr. Diego Franco to the List's
attention, and this calls to mind the Italian organist and composer
Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726). Around 1716 Zipoli decided that he
wanted to join the Jesuits and serve in South America. He
completed his studies, but died in Argentina before he could be
ordained.
