Biography

Blessed Maria Bagnesi, also known as Bartholomaea Bagnesi, was born on August 15, 1514, in Florence, Italy. She was a happy and beautiful child, although frequently neglected by her mother who often left her to the care of others. One of her caretakers was her sister, who happened to be a Dominican nun. It was in her sister's convent where Maria experienced some of her best moments, and it greatly influenced her later spiritual journey.
