SCOPELLI, Giovanna, Blessed. - Carmelite nun, b. at Reggio Emilia in 1428, d. in 1491.

She took the Carmelite habit, and at the death of her parents she devoted her inheritance to the founding of a monastery of Carmelite nuns of the Congregation of Mantua, which began in 1485 under the title of St. Mary of the People. Her confessor, Fra Angelo da Genova, formulated its Constitutions. Clement XIV in 1771 approved her cult.

She worked effectively for the conversion of sinners. Her devotion to the Virgin was eminent. Benedetto Mutto da Reggio wrote her life, which was printed several times.
