Giuseppina Vannini was an Italian religious sister born in Rome in 1859. After being orphaned as a child and facing health challenges that initially hindered her religious formation, she partnered with Luigi Tezza to establish the Daughters of Saint Camillus. This congregation was created to serve the sick and dying. Vannini served as the order's superior general, leading the community through significant challenges, including the exile of her co-founder. She died in Rome in 1911 and was later canonized as a saint by Pope Francis.
