Bartolomea Capitanio (13 January 1807 – 26 July 1833) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious and the co-foundress of the Sisters of Charity of Lovere that she established with Vincenza Gerosa.

[1] The girl would have entered the order of those nuns but her parents would not consent to her request but approached her spiritual director, the priest Angelo Bosio, for guidance.

[2] After the conclusion of her studies she opened a private school for girls where she encouraged the devotion of the "Six Sundays of Saint Aloysius" that Pope Clement XII had approved back in 1739.

The Bishop of Brescia allowed for Bosio and Father Rusticiano Barboglio to purchase a house for the two women to found their order at.

[1] On the Feast of the Presentation - on 21 February 1832 - the pair dedicated themselves to God (in Bosio and Barboglio's presence at San Giorgio in Casa Gaia) and began to live a communal life in accordance with the order the two founded.
