Giuseppe Maria Bernini, also known as Giuseppe Maria da Gargnano (English: Joseph Mary Bernini, Hindustani: ज्यूसेपे मारिया बेर्निनी (Devanagari), جیوسپی ماریا بیرنینی (Nastaleeq)), who lived from 1709–1761, was an Italian Capuchin missionary, physician and Orientalist.[2] His efforts led to the establishment of the northern Indian subcontinent's oldest Christian community—the Bettiah Christians.[3] Bernini was the first European to author tracts in Hindustani (Hindi-Urdu), as well as to translate Indian classics from Sanskrit into Italian.[2]
