I have now met two people with the name Giuseppina, which is translated in English as Josephine. One is the woman who, along with her husband Luciano runs the Ai Tre Arche restaurant/hotel here. She wants to be known as Giuppina.
The other was a woman from Sicily who was staying at La Verna for a retreat and wants to become a nun. She wanted to be known as Giuse.
It seems this name is shortened in different ways.
By the way, speaking of hotels, it seems to me that good places to stay in Italy, away from the big cities are these pizzerias/restaurants/B&B's. The room prices are reasonable (here it is 25 euro for a single, 45 euro for a double), and family businesses are often very helpful to visitors.
