Blessed Caterina Cittadini (†1857) was an Italian Roman Catholic religious from Bergamo, Italy, who established the Ursuline Sisters of Saint Jerome Emiliani. The order was dedicated to the education of girls in Bergamo and in the surrounding areas and has since expanded outside of the Italian nation. Her order came in part from her devotion to Saint Jerome Emiliani and the Blessed Mother. Cittadini's reputation increased as the decades went on due to her fame as a passionate and inspiring educator who instilled in girls both a civic and a religious education that was the basis of her educational career and her beliefs. Her beatification was celebrated on 29 April 2001 by Pope John Paul II and Her feast is celebrated on 5 of May.
