Seraphina Sforza was a 15th-century Italian nun and noblewoman born into the House of Montefeltro. Originally known as Sveva, she was married to Alessandro Sforza, the lord of Pesaro, following an arranged union. After facing severe domestic abuse and false accusations from her husband, she was forced to enter a Poor Clare convent, where she adopted the name Seraphina. She eventually rose to the position of abbess, serving the order until her death in 1478.
