Saint Virginia Centurione Bracelli (†1651) was a daughter of the Doge of Genoa who had a short marriage due to being widowed in 1607. After her husband's death, she began charitable works and assisted the poor and the sick, and founded the "Cento Signore della Misericordia Protettrici dei Poveri di Gesù Cristo". Around 1635 the center was caring for over 300 patients and received recognition as a hospital from the government. Bracelli spent the remainder of her life acting as a peacemaker between noble houses and continuing her work for the poor. She was beatified on 22 September 1985 and was later canonized on 18 May 2003.
