Lucy Filippini
Lucy Filippini (13 January 1672 – 25 March 1732) is venerated as a Catholic saint.
With the assistance of Cardinal Giovanni Francesco Barbarigo, Rose Venerini founded schools for young women, especially the poor, in Viterbo. The cardinal's relative Cardinal Marcantonio Barbarigo invited Venerini to establish schools in his diocese of Montefiascone. When Venerini had to return to Viterbo to look after the establishments there, Marcantonio entrusted the schools to Lucy Filippini. She then founded the Institute of the Maestre Pie to staff the schools and continue her work. They are known as the "Filippini Sisters".
