| Summary: | Chiara Isabella Fornari (1697-1744) was born in Rome and became Poor Clare in the convent of S. Francesco in Todi, in Umbria, where she spent her entire life, marked by an intense spirituality and mystical phenomenons, and where, as abbess, she reformed the religious life of her monastery. This essay aims to reconstruct the hagiographic image of Chiara Isabella shaped between the end of the Eighteenth Century and the first decades of the Nineteenth, retracing the difficult path given to her process of beatification, that started in Todi between 1748 and 1754, was reopened in Rome between 1837 and 1853 and never completed. |
