Villana de' Botti
Villana de' Botti, TOSD (1332 - 29 January 1361) was an Italian Catholic member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic. She turned to the Dominicans after a sudden conversion from a dissolute adult life and was noted for her simplistic life born out of her conversion. She had been a pious and devoted child, but after marrying fell into secular values.
As a nun, de' Botti had fierce detractors due to her stating she had religious ecstasies at Mass, and these opponents eventually acknowledged her as a true living saint. She was beatified on 27 March 1824.
