Benedetta Cambiagio Frassinello was an Italian missionary and founder of the Benedictine Sisters of Providence. She is a saint in the Roman Catholic Church.
==Life==
Benedetta was born on 2 October 1791 in Langasco (Genoa) Italy. From her parents Benedetta received a Christian formation. Her family settled in Pavia when she was a girl. When she was 20 years old, Benedetta had a mystical experience that gave her a profound desire for a life of prayer and penance, and of consecration to God. However, in obedience to the wishes of her parents, on February 7, 1816, she married Giovanni Battista Frassinello. After two years, they decided each to live a celebate life "as brother and sister".〔(''Benedetta Cambiagio Frassinello'', Vatican News Services )〕 The couple took in Benedetta's younger sister, Maria, who was dying from intestinal cancer, and had been abandoned by her husband. Together they cared for her until she died in July 1825.
Following Maria's death, Giovanni entered the Somaschi Fathers founded by Saint Jerome Emiliani, and Benedetta joined the Ursuline Congregation of Capriolo. A year later she was forced to leave because of ill health, and returned to Pavia. Once she regained her health, with the bishop's approval, she dedicated herself to the education of young girls. Benedetta needed help in handling such a responsibility. Bishop Tosi of Pavia asked Giovanni to leave the Somaschi novitiate and help Benedetta in her apostolic work. Together they made a vow of perfect chastity in the hands of the bishop, and then began their common work to promote the human and Christian formation of poor and abandoned girls of the city. Their educational work was of great benefit to Pavia. Benedetta became the first woman to be involved in this kind of work. The Austrian government recognized her as a "Promoter of Public Education".〔
She was helped by young women volunteers to whom she gave a rule of life that later received ecclesiastical approval. Along with instruction, she joined formation in catechesis and in domestic skills like cooking and sewing, aiming to transform her students into "models of Christian life" and so assure the formation of families.〔
