Magdalene of Canossa
St. Magdalene of Canossa, F.D.C.C., (1774–1835) was an Italian Religious Sister and foundress. She was a leading advocate for the poor in her region, and has been canonized by the Catholic Church.
==Early life==
Magdalene was born on March 1, 1774, into an ancient and prominent Veronese family. One of five children, her father was Marquis Ottavio di Canossa; her mother, Teresa Szluha, a Hungarian countess. In 1779 her father died in an accident. Two years later her mother left Canossa palace to marry the Marquis Zanetti of Mantua. The children were placed under the guardianship of their uncle. In 1791 she spent time in a Carmelite monastery but discerned that this was not her vocation. She returned to her family life at Canossa Palace, and undertook the running the family's large estate.〔("Magdalena of Canossa (1774-1835)", Vatican )〕
In Verona Magdalene saw a city in which the poor suffered extreme poverty, only made worse by the social upheavals caused by the invasions of the French Revolutionary Army and the opposing forces of the Austrian Empire, which eventually gained control of her native city. This situation provoked her desire to serve the needs of the unfortunate.〔
