About Luigia Poloni
Blessed Luigia Poloni (26 January 1802 – 11 November 1855) was an Italian Roman Catholic nun and was also the co-founder of the Sisters of Mercy of Verona which she established with Charles Steeb - future saint.
She took the name of "Maria Vincenza" when she became a nun. Cardinal Angelo Amato - on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI - beatified Poloni in 2008 after the recognition of a miracle attributed to her intercession.
