I suppose you can take you pick. The Jesuit Order originated in Paris with St. Ignatius of Loyola bringing together a number of other students to study his spiritual exercises; or you could say Rome, as that is where the Holy Father who approved the new Order was when he issued the proclamation establishing them.
