Two months after his election, Father Gottifredi died at the house of the professed Fathers, Rome, before the electing Fathers could assemble in the General Congregation that was to follow. This Congregation remains the only one to have elected two Superiors General, as it immediately elected Gottifredi's successor, Goswin Nickel.
Gottifredi had been a professor of Theology and Rector of the Roman College, and later secretary of the Society under Father Mutius Vitelleschi.
