Life
Johanna Maria was raised by Poor Clares in Trento and joined the Benedictine order in Bassano del Grappa in 1622 . She became novice mistress, prioress, and three times she was abbess. She was mystically gifted, suffered from severe physical and mental illnesses, and bore the stigmata of the cross of Jesus with humility and patience.
