Blessed Antonia of Florence (†1472), born in Florence, Italy, was a devout Catholic widow who dedicated her life to God. After her husband’s death, she joined the Third Order of St. Dominic, embracing a life of prayer, charity, and penance. Known for her deep spirituality and compassion, she served the poor and sick, becoming a model of Christian virtue. Antonia later became prioress of a Dominican convent, guiding others in faith. Antonia died on 29 February 1472. Many miracles occurred at her tomb and her body has remained incorrupt. She was beatified in 1847 by Pope Pius IX.
