Biography
Blessed Maria Anna Rosa Caiani, also known as Maria Margherita, was born on 2 November 1863 in Poggio a Caiano, Florence, Italy. From a young age, Maria felt a strong call to religious life and service. However, her responsibilities to her family prevented her from pursuing this vocation until her parents passed away.
