Villana de' Botti was a 14th-century Italian religious woman from Florence who belonged to the Third Order of Saint Dominic. Originally a pious child, she later lived a worldly and extravagant life following her marriage to Rosso di Piero Benintendi. After a sudden spiritual conversion prompted by a vision of her reflection, she embraced a life of simplicity and penance. Despite facing skepticism regarding her religious ecstasies, she became a significant figure of devotion within the Dominican tradition.
