Biography
Destefanis' other names include Bonifacije Stefanić Drakolica, Darcoliza, Drakolica, Crassa, Grassa, Ragusinus, Stephani, Drkoličić and Stjepanović.
Pietro de Gozzo was ordained a priest in the Order of Friars Minor.[1] Destefanis participated at the Council of Trent.[4] On 17 Nov 1564, he was appointed by Pope Pius IV as Bishop of Ston.[1]
In 1580 Destefanis, accompanied by Bartol Sfondrati, was appointed as apostolic visitor and delegate to Dalmatia, Herzegovina, Bosnia, Croatia, Vallachia, Slavonia, Serbia and other European territories governed by the Ottomans.[5] Before this trip, based on Pope's instructions, Destefanis visited Franciscan province in Bosnia.[6] On 15 December 1580 Destefanis reported to Rome that he met bishop of Smederevo, fra Nikola Ugrinović, during his journey to Bosnia.[7] Since there were only five Catholic families in Smederevo, Destefanis proposed to move Ugrinović to Skradin.[8]
He served as Bishop of Ston until his death in 1582.[1]
