- Profile
- Daughter of Count Egano Lambertini of Bologna and Castora Galuzzi.
While still a child, she put together a little oratory in her house, and spent much time there in prayer.
She felt drawn to religious life, and planned to become a nun.
Student at Dominican Convent of Valdi-Pietra in Bologna, partly in preparation for religious life.
Had a great devotion to Saint Agnes of Rome, of whom she may have had visions, to Mary as Queen of Angels, and to the Holy Eucharist.
On 12 May 1333 she miraculously received her First Communion, and immediately after died in an ecstasy of love and joy.
