Anna Maria Adorni Botti
Anna Maria Adorni Botti (19 June 1805 – 7 February 1893), born Anna Maria Adorni, was an Italian religious sister of the Handmaids of the Immaculata, a congregation she established in 1857. Botti's vocation was to the religious life, and as a child believed she was destined for the missions and later as a Franciscan religious sister. After being widowed, she did pastoral work in Parma, where she established and ran the congregation of the Handmaids of the Immaculata until her death.
Botti was beatified on 3 October 2010 in the Parma Cathedral. Archbishop Angelo Amato presided over the beatification on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI who had approved the cause.
