On May 31, 1807 she moved into the monastery of SS. Gioacchino ed Anna alle quattro fontane near the Quirinal Palace . During the French occupation, she was temporarily driven out, but returned in 1814. Pope Pius VII granted papal approbation to the community on July 22, 1818. The sisters were dressed in a white habit and a red scapular and from then on lived according to the Augustine Rule . Today the religious community forms a confederation of 69 monasteries worldwide.
