Lorenzo Snow organized the Italian Mission in 1850 in the Protestant Waldensian Valley. He went about the work discreetly at first. It was not until he had published his second pamphlet, "The Voice of Joseph," that the Protestant pastors began to be concerned. In 1851, an unknown translator began work on the Italian Book of Mormon, which was printed in London in 1852. Proselyting in Catholic cities in the Kingdom of Sardinia was illegal, and as a result, very few copies of the Italian Book of Mormon were distributed. The missionaries did not find many converts outside of the Waldensian Valley and the mission was discontinued in 1867. The majority of the printed copies of the Italian Book of Mormon remained unbound and were shipped to Salt Lake City. When the Italian Mission was reopened in 1966, a new translation was made.
