Anna Maria Gesualda Antonia Taigi (nee Giannetti; 29 May1769 - 9 June1837) was an Italian woman who was beatified by Pope Benedict XV in 1920 [ [http://www.opusdeialert.com/blessed-anna-maria-taigi.htm ~Blessed Anna Maria Taigi~ ] ] .

Life

Taigi was born in Siena. Her parents kept an apothecary shop at Siena, but lost all their fortune and were obliged to go to Rome in search of a livelihood. Anna Maria was then five years old. In 1789 she was married on to Dominico Taigi, a retainer of the noble family of Chigi. One day while she knelt with her husband at the "Confessio" in St. Peter's she felt a strong inspiration to renounce the world.

Soon afterwards she was received publicly in the Third Order of Trinitarians in the Church of S. Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, and having found spiritual directors, she made progress in the way of perfection. Though not rich she was very charitable. Of the hospitals she regularly visited, the preferred one was S. Giacomo of the Incurables.

During many years, when praying in her chapel she had ecstasies and frequent visions, in which she allegedly foresaw the future. After death her name soon became venerated in Rome, where she died. Her incorrupt body was several times transferred, and rests finally at S. Crisogono in Trastevere.
