Victorina Trucano or Victorina Belloti, (1839-?), was an Italian hatmaker and illegalist anarchist. She is best known for her actions during the rise of illegalism, where she joined the Ortiz gang, and for being accused in the Trial of the Thirty.
Born in Italy and a widow from a previous marriage, Trucano joined the Ortiz gang with her son, Luigi. She fenced goods stolen by the group before moving with other members to the hideout where they kept the loot from their robberies. Arrested, she was brought to justice at the Trial of the Thirty, a political trial targeting the anarchist movement, and was ultimately acquitted.
