Enrichetta Alfieri
Enrichetta Alfieri (23 February 1891 – 23 November 1951), born Maria Angela Domenica Alfieri, was an Italian Roman Catholic religious sister and a member of the Sisters of Divine Charity.
Alfieri was called also "the mother of San Vittore" and "the angel of San Vittore" due to her extensive work in the San Vittore prison in Milan. She worked there during World War II when the Nazis arrested her on the charge of espionage. The intervention of the Cardinal Archbishop of Milan Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster secured her release.
Pope Benedict XVI approved her beatification and delegated Cardinal Angelo Amato to preside over the beatification celebration at Milan Cathedral on 26 June 2011.
