Vincenza Gerosa was an Italian religious sister born in Lovere in 1784. Following the loss of her family, she used her inheritance to support local charitable efforts and established a school to provide domestic training for impoverished girls. In 1824, she partnered with Bartolomea Capitanio to serve the needy in the Bergamo region. Together, they established a hospital and later founded the Sisters of Charity of Lovere in 1832. She dedicated her life to educating children and caring for the poor until her death in 1847.
