Antonia of Florence is an Italian blessed. She was abbess of the monastery of Corpus Christi in L'Aquila.

Life

Antonia was born in Florence in 1401 and married at a young age.[1] She and her husband had one child, a son.[2]

After her husband's death in 1428, she joined the Third Order of Saint Francis. She then joined a women's community in Foligno, where she was soon appointed superior. In 1433, she was transferred to L'Aquila to supervise a monastery, a position she held for thirteen years. Desiring a more austere life, she then entered the Corpus Christi Monastery of the Poor Clares in L'Aquila, where she became abbess.[3] Her spiritual director was John of Capistrano.[4]

Antonia died on 29 February 1472. Many miracles occurred at her tomb and her body has remained incorrupt. She was beatified by Pope Pius IX.[5] in 1847.
