Father Grassi was the ninth president of Georgetown and pioneered its transition to a modern university, earning him the moniker Georgetown' s Second Founder. Originally published in Italian in 1818 and translated here into English for the first time, Grassi' s rich observations of life in the young republic will fascinate historians of Catholicism.
Father Giovanni Antonio Grassi was born in Schilpario, in the region of Lombardy, Italy, in 1775. He studied in the seminary of Bergamo and joined the Jesuits as a novice in 1799. In 1810 he traveled to the United States, where he met John Carroll, Bishop of Baltimore. Grassi served as president of Georgetown University from 1812 to 1817. He returned to Italy in 1817, where he died in Rome in 1849. Roberto Severino is a professor emeritus of Italian at Georgetown University. Robert Emmett Curran is a professor emeritus of history at Georgetown University and is the author of the three-volume series A History of Georgetown University (Georgetown University Press, 2010).
