Caterina Aliprandi was a 15th-century Italian religious woman born into a noble family in Asti. Although she was originally intended to marry a wealthy nobleman, she eventually convinced her husband to join the Franciscan order, which allowed her to enter the Monastery of Saint Clare in Alessandria as a novice. Later in life, she returned to her birthplace to establish a new monastery dedicated to Jesus Christ, where she served as a gatekeeper.
