Amata of Assisi was a 13th-century Catholic nun and one of the first followers of Saint Clare of Assisi. Born into a noble family in Assisi, she initially lived a worldly and pleasure-seeking life. However, after seeking advice from her aunt, Clare, regarding an upcoming marriage, she chose to renounce her engagement and enter the religious life. She spent twenty years as a member of the Poor Clares at the San Damiano monastery, where she lived a life of devotion and penance.
