Life

Monsignor Pacifico Tiziano Micheloni was born in Vernio on 8 March 1881 to Petronio Paoletti and Rosa Paoletti. He entered the novitiate on 11 April 1896, and he completed his novitiate in Montepulciano[2] and continued his studies in Arezzo. and was ordained a priest on 15 August 1901.[3][failed verification] He was then sent to England to learn the English language. From 1907 he worked in Agra and from 1920 in Aden, there he was Secretary of the Bishop and Capuchin Superior.[1]

In 1928 he was appointed

Governor of the Protectorate of British Somalia,[5] who did not like the presence of Catholic missionaries,[6] in 1930, Father Micheloni first managed to obtain a residence permit in Berbera[1] from the British Empire for no more than four months a year, and subsequently the right to stop on the plateau for seven months a year and to be able to travel throughout British Somalia. Father Micheloni was the first to make use of the permits, and this allowed him in the months of May and June 1931, to travel throughout Somalia, where he organized numerous meetings with Somali Catholics and tribal leaders who requested the need for missionaries[7] in their area.[1]

Episcopal Ministry in Arabia

On 25 April 1933,

.

The following year Msgr. Micheloni returned to the

religious, regretted the concessions and had himself staged the demonstration to justify the sudden change. The reality, however, was substantially different"[1] Msgr. Micheloni traveled all over Somalia again, with the company of a young Christian
, and often had numerous requests to remain in the Villages without ever being marked as inconsiderate.

He paid particular attention to the numerous

Government Schools,[1] including five of the mission in Aden. The latter, however, had a higher number of pupils than the others. There was no lack of problems, primarily due to the presence of Catholic and Muslim students, in the same classes with considerable risks for education to the Catholic
faith.

Death

Unfortunately, the extended stay in Aden slowly but surely took a toll on the young bishop's health, who was forced to leave the mission and left for Italy, he died in Rome on 6 June 1936 at the age of 55.[1]
