NUNTIA, WIDOW
Nuntia, a pious widow of the Third Order of St Francis of Assisi, probably from Sicily, died godly in Rome in 1596.
Following a pilgrimage to the Mother of God in Loreto, she lived in voluntary poverty and spent her time praying almost continuously at St Peter's Church. She is counted among the "blessed" by Born* and others.
