Vincenza

Vincenza (or Vincenzina) Viganò-Mombelli (1760–1814) was an Italian ballerina and librettist. She is remembered today as the librettist of Rossini's first opera Demetrio e Polibio. Her husband was the tenor Domenico Mombelli.

Vincenza Gerosa (1784 – 1847), born Caterina Gerosa, was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious and the co-foundress of the Sisters of Charity of Lovere that she founded alongside Bartolomea Capitanio. Gerosa met Capitanio in 1824 and the two consecrated themselves to God in the name of educating children and tending to the poor of the Bergamo area.

Gerosa's canonization cause started under Pope Pius X on 4 December 1906 and Pope Pius XI later named her as Venerable in 1927. Gerosa was beatified under Pius XI in 1926 – alongside Capitanio – and Pope Pius XII later canonized the pair as saints in 1950.

Vincenza Matilde Testaferrata née Perdicomati Bologna dei Conti della Catena, was a Maltese baroness. She served in the office of Depositario of the Inquisition in Malta in 1760–1778. This was an unprecedented achievement, as women normally did not hold any of the offices of the Inquisition.
