Mariannina Amendola was a 19th-century Italian composer.
Library archives in Italy note that she was a figure of some cultural standing in Italian musical circles; for instance, the 19th-century composer Antonio Palminteri dedicated his piano-accompanied vocal romance (romanza) titled "Un pensiero" to her (addressed as "Alla Sig.na Mariannina Amendola") around 1874.
