Villana de' Botti, TOSD (1332 - 29 January 1361) was an Italian Catholic professed member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic.[1] She turned to the Dominicans after a sudden conversion from a dissolute life and was noted for her simplistic life born out of her conversion. She was a pious and devoted child but after she was married she had fallen into secular values.[2]
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.[3]
