Giuliana Puricelli was a 15th-century Italian Augustinian nun and abbess who sought a life of religious devotion. Born in Busto Arsizio to peasant parents, she fled her home in 1454 to avoid an arranged marriage organized by her father. She found refuge in a hermitage under the guidance of Caterina Moriggi, eventually becoming an abbess. Known for her contemplative nature and penitential lifestyle, she lived as a cloistered religious until her death in 1501 at Sacro Monte di Varese.
