Maria Bagnesi, TOSD (15 August 1514 – 28 May 1577) was an Italian Catholic professed member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic.[1] Bagnesi remained confined to her bed for most of her life after falling ill upon receiving news that her father arranged a marriage for her – she escaped this fate but remained in her room where people flocked to seek her counsel. Due to her devotion to Bartholomew the Apostle, she assumed the religious name Maria Bartolomea.[2] Pope Pius VII beatified her in 1804.[3]
