About Maria Bagnesi
- Maria Bagnesi (15 August 1514 - 28 May 1577) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic.
- Bagnesi remained confided 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 name of "Bartolomea" and added it to her name as a sort of middle name.The confirmation of the late Bagnesi's longstanding local 'cultus' (or popular devotion) allowed for Pope Pius VII to approve her beatification in 1804.
