Giuseppina Nicoli (18 November 1863 – 31 December 1924) was an Italian Roman Catholic religious sister.[1] Nicoli - aged 20 at the time - became a member of the Vincentians and became a catechist in Sardinia where she was positioned for most of her life despite holding several positions of leadership in Turin and elsewhere for a brief period.[2]

Her beatification was started under Pope Paul VI in 1966 and she was later named as Venerable under Pope Benedict XVI in 2006 who also approved her beatification - Cardinal José Saraiva Martins beatified Nicoli in 2008 on the behalf of the pontiff. Her annual liturgical feast was not affixed to the date of her death (as is the norm) but rather on the date of her beatification.[3]
