Saint Agnes of Montepulciano, born on January 28, 1268, in Gracciano Vecchio, Tuscany, was a Dominican nun and mystic whose precocious holiness shaped medieval Italian spirituality. Entering a convent at 9, she became abbess of a new foundation in Proceno at 15, renowned for visions—once levitating with the Christ Child—and miracles like multiplying bread. In 1306, she founded the Monastery of Santa Maria Novella in Montepulciano, leading it until her death on April 20, 1317, at 49, her body wracked by illness yet exuding a sweet scent and found incorrupt. Her life inspired Saint Catherine of Siena, who called her “our mother.”
