Dina Bosatta
Dina Bosatta (27 May 1858 – 20 April 1887) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious who became a professed member of the Daughters of Mary religious congregation alongside her sister Marcellina. Bosatta became a nun in 1878 and assumed the religious name of "Chiara" and devoted her life to God and to the social welfare of neglected children and to the poor.
Bosatta co-founded – alongside her sister and Luigi Guanella – the Daughters of Saint Mary of Providence – and managed the order in her hometown and the surrounding areas. In her service to the poor she contracted tuberculosis which remained with her until her death in 1887.
Pope John Paul II presided over her beatification on 21 April 1991.
