Biography
Juan Nepomuceno was born in Buenos Aires, son of Miguel de Solá y Solá de Medinaceli, born in Biscay, and Juana de Indá y Tirado, belonging to a traditional Creole family of Spanish and Portuguese origin.[3] Through his mother he was a descendant of Ñuño Fernández Lobo, being a distant relative of Juan Cayetano Fernández de Agüero, of outstanding performance as parish priest of the Cathedral of Buenos Aires.[4]
After completing his elementary studies he graduated as a doctor of theology from the University of Saint Francis Xavier in 1774.[5] That same year he was ordained as a priest, being appointed Provisor and Vicar General of the bishopric and interim parish priest of the church of San Nicolás de Bari in 1776.[6]
Juan Nepomuceno Solá had been the head of the Church of Montserrat for years, when he was invited to participate in the open town hall on May 22, 1810.[7] He integrated the first governing board, previous to the formation of the Primera Junta.[8]
