Joseph Pignatelli (1737-1811) was the link between the Society of Jesus suppressed in 1773, and restored in 1814. He led some 600 former Jesuits from Spain living in exile in Italy, for almost four decades during the Suppression. Through his various interventions, Jesuits were permitted to rejoin the surviving Society of Jesus in White Russia, and the Society was restored in some parts of Italy in 1793, and in 1803, he was appointed Provincial Superior. In 1807, Pignatelli settled in Rome and continued the administration of the Society of Jesus. He died three years before the Society of Jesus was restored.
