Santa Francesca Romana

Born in 1384 into a noble family, the young Francesca Ponziani would have preferred to consecrate herself to God, but out of obedience to her parents she married Lorenzo de ’Ponziani, also of noble origins and a very rich man.

Despite his being rich and noble, he did not give up on giving an example of humility and charity, as well as modesty and devotion.


After the death of two of his three children he did not end his charitable work, but on the contrary he extended it to his servants and all those who needed it.

When her husband died, she decided to enter the monastery of the Oblates in Tor de 'Specchi.

He died on March 9, 1440 and his body was exposed for three days in the Church of Santa Maria Nuova, which later took its name.


Sanctified in 1608 by Pope Paul V Borghese, today it is considered the patroness of motorists.
