Laura Beatrice Mancini (January 17, 1821 Francesco de Sanctis, Nino Cortese, Opere complete, A. Morano, 1930, pag. 422 – July 17, 1869), born Laura Beatrice Oliva, was an Italian poet.
Laura Oliva was born in Naples, and in 1840 married Italian jurist and statesman Pasquale Stanislao Mancini. She wrote a variety of poetry, and ran a literary salon for liberal-minded Neapolitans from the 1840s. Many of her poems focused on contemporary political events (see Italian unification), especially after 1860.
