Andrea Borromeo (born after c.1615;[1] died 2 January 1683) was a seventeenth-century Italian Theatine priest.
A member of the noble Borromeo family, he was one of the thirteen children of Giulio Cesare III Borromeo (1593–1638) and Giovanna Cesi (died 1672).[2], [3]
In 1652 he went to Mingrelia in Georgia as a missionary. He worked there for more than a decade and left an account of the region and the missions of his order entitled: Relazione della Georgia, Mingrelia, e Missione de’ Padri Teatini in quelle parti (Rome, 1704). On his return to Rome he was elected procurator for these missions while declining the offer of a bishopric.[4]
After seven days of a malignant fever brought on by a urinary disorder, Andrea Borromeo died in Rome at 7 p.m. on Saturday 2 January 1683.[2]
