Born into a noble family in Trino, she eventually joined the Carmelite Order in Parma, where she later served as prioress. She later led the monastery in Mantua, known as St. Mary of Paradise, until her death in 1494. Known for her ascetic lifestyle and spiritual ecstasies, she was beatified by Pope Pius IX in 1864.
