Leonella Sgorbati

Leonella Sgorbati, born Rosa Maria Sgorbati, (9 December 1940 – 17 September 2006) was an Italian religious sister of the Consolata Missionaries who served in the missions in both Kenya and in Somalia. She was murdered in Somalia not long after the Regensburg lecture of Pope Benedict XVI and after having worked on the continent for over three decades. Her main attention was on nursing and educating prospective nurses while she also tended to the needs of children in a children's hospital that she frequented.

In 2008 her cross was deposited in the San Bartolomeo all'Isola church. She was beatified on 26 May 2018 in Piacenza.

The beatification took place on 26 May 2018 in Piacenza with Cardinal Angelo Amato presiding over the celebration on the behalf of the pope. The Archbishop of Milan Mario Enrico Delpini was also in attendance as was the Bishop of Piacenza-Bobbio Gianni Ambrosio. The postulator for this cause is the Renata Conti MC.
