Agostina Camozzi (1435 - 13 February 1458) - in religious Cristina - was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Order of Saint Augustine.[1] Camozzi led a dissolute life as a widow and a soldier's mistress before she became a nun and adopted a life of total repentance.[2][3]
Her beatification received confirmation from Pope Gregory XVI on 19 September 1834 after the pontiff acknowledged the late nun's 'cultus' (or longstanding and popular devotion).[4][5]
