Blessed Giuseppe Nascimbeni (†1922) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who exercised his pastoral mission in his home of Verona and who also established the Little Sisters of the Holy Family. Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1988 on account of his holiness and a miracle attributed to his intercession; his feast is celebrated on 22 January, on the date of his death or "dies natalis" (birth into Heaven).
