Pierina Morosini (7 January 1931 - 4 April 1957) was born in Fiobbio, a frazione of Albino, Bergamo, Italy on 7 January 1931 to farmers Rocco Morosini and Sara Noris. The first of nine children, Morosini grew up in a small village near the mountains in very difficult time during World War II. She soon became a member of Catholic Action. Pierina became a seamstress, like many other young women of Fiobbio, in a textile plant in Albino. She left her village only once in her life, to attend the beatification of Santa Maria Goretti in Vatican City.
