Blessed Leonella Sgorbati (9 December 1940 – 17 September 2006) - born Rosa Maria Sgorbati - was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Consolata Mission Sisters who served in the missions in both Kenya and in Somalia. The religious was murdered there not long after controversial comments that Pope Benedict XVI had made concerning Islam 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.
