Who they were

Born in Milan in 1811, she entered the Canossian Daughters of Charity in 1833 after meeting the founder St Maddalena di Canossa, and later served as superior of a new community.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Holy See granted the nulla osta on 6 December 1993 and the bishop of Pavia, Giovanni Volta, opened the diocesan process on her life, virtues and reputation for holiness.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
