Luís María Gallardi (died 1736) was a Sicilian Jesuit missionary to New Spain.
Biography
Gallardi, a Sicilian,[1] arrived in the Pimería Alta in 1720, joining fellow missionaries Eusebio Kino, Agustín de Campos, and Luis Xavier Velarde.[2] He was assigned to the Caborca mission for two years, before relocating in 1722 to Mission Santa María Magdalena.[3] In 1725 he became the administrator of the Altar River valley, and accordingly relocated to San Ignacio.[3][4]
Gallardi moved again in 1727 to Tubutama, where he served for the rest of his life. A 1730 account describes Gallardi punishing two of the native Pima, and the natives retaliating by shooting arrows into Gallardi's room while he slept.[5] Juan Bautista Grazhoffer assisted Gallardi at the mission for a few months, leaving in 1732.[6] Gallardi died in Tubutama on January 1, 1736.[3]
