Vallumbrosan foundress, also called Rosanna or Humility. She was born in Faenza, Italy, and was married at the age of fifteen. Nine years later, after their two children had died in infancy, her husband became a monk upon recovering from a serious illness. Humilitas received the veil and lived as a recluse until she was asked to found two Vallumbrosan convents, which she governed.
