The paper deals with the role of Italian speaking members of the Society of Jesus in Vienna throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. The influence Jesuit fathers exerted at the Habsburg court(s) has often been discussed, as was their importance in in-tellectual life through the preeminence in academic institutions. This study focuses on the impact (native) Italian speaking Jesuits had in the city of Vienna, not only as renowned confessors and preachers at court and in city churches, but also as founders and leading personalities of the Italian Congregation(s) from around 1630 up to the dissolution of the Order. Following Jesuit sources the paper also shows the importance Jesuit colleges in multilingual territories under Habsburg domination (such as Gorizia) had in providing the necessary personnel for the pastoral needs of the Italian speaking comunity in Vienna.
