Giuseppina Gabriela Bonino was an Italian religious sister born in 1843 who founded the Sisters of the Holy Family of Savigliano. After caring for her sick father and local orphans, she felt a religious calling following a pilgrimage to Lourdes in 1877. She established her congregation in 1881 to serve the impoverished, the sick, and orphaned children. A member of the Lay Carmelites, she served as the superior of her order until her death from pneumonia in 1906.
