ALBERTONI, Ludovica degli, Blessed. - Born in Rome to the patrician Albertoni family in 1473, died on 31 January 1533. She lost her father Stefano at the age of two. After her mother Lucrezia Tebaldi remarried, her education was entrusted to her paternal aunts and her maternal grandmother. Married at the age of 20 to Giacomo della Cetera, by whom she had three daughters, she found herself, after her husband's death (1506), exposed to the harassment of relatives over matters of inheritance. She witnessed the sack of Rome and devoted herself heroically to the care of the poor and the outcasts of society. Her tomb in the Franciscan church of St. Francis a Ripa belongs to the last period of Bernini's activity. The cult paid to her immediately after her death was ratified by Clement X in 1671. - See Pl. LVII.
