Saint Maria Maddalena di Canossa, born on March 1, 1774, in Verona, was an Italian noblewoman who founded the Canossian Daughters of Charity, dedicating her life to educating the poor and sick. Orphaned young, she rejected wealth to pursue charity, inspired by Magdalene of Canossa’s relic. In 1808, she established her order, opening schools and hospitals, emphasizing Christian formation for girls. Despite frail health, she expanded her mission across Italy, dying on April 10, 1835, at 61 in Verona, her work a beacon of compassion in a turbulent era. Her rule blended contemplation with service, influencing global missions. | Saint Maria Maddalena di Canossa, born on March 1, 1774, in Verona, was an Italian noblewoman who founded the Canossian Daughters of Charity, dedicating her life to educating the poor and sick.
