Giovanna Scopelli
Giovanna Scopelli, O.Carm (1428 – 9 July 1491) was an Italian Carmelite nun who established her own convent. Scopelli was forbidden to enter the third order branch of the order during her adolescence and waited until her parents died to embrace the religious life.
Scopelli was beatified on 24 August 1771 under Pope Clement XIV when the latter approved her local cultus.
