Benvenuta Bojani (4 May 1254 - 30 October 1292) was an Italian religious sister of the Third Order of Saint Dominic.[1] Bojani dedicated her life to strict austerities as an act of repentance and devotion to God and was said to have had visions of angels and demons.[2]
The confirmation of the late Bojani's popular devotion allowed for Pope Clement XIV to approve her beatification in 1763.
