Anna Maria Taigi (née Giannetti; 29 May 1769 – 9 June 1837) was an Italian Catholic professed member from the Secular Trinitarians.[1][2] Taigi reportedly experienced a series of ecstasies during her life and heard the voices of God and Jesus Christ on several occasions.
She became a Secular Trinitarian after experiencing a sudden religious conversion in the winter of 1790 at Saint Peter's Basilica, when Taigi came into contact with a range of cardinals and luminaries, including Vincent Strambi and Benedict Joseph Flaget.[3][4]
Her beatification process was opened in 1863 under Pope Pius IX, granting her the title Servant of God, and Pope Benedict XV beatified her in 1920.[5]
