Gemma Galgani was an Italian mystic born in 1878 in Capannori who lived most of her life in Lucca. Known as the "daughter of the Passion" due to her deep identification with the suffering of Christ, she experienced various mystical phenomena, including stigmata and ecstasies. After a life marked by significant personal loss and illness, she died in 1903 at the age of 25. She was later canonized by the Catholic Church in 1940 and remains a significant figure of devotion, particularly within the Passionist congregation.
