Franciscans of All Saints in Florence

FRANCESCANE D'OGNISSANTI A FIRENZE. — Congregation developed from an institute of Tertiaries founded by Elisabetta Corsini di Bagnano in 1711, which did not lead a common life. They adopted the cloistered habit around 1830, and in 1906 received their own constitutions. In 15 houses (hospitals, orphanages, homes for the elderly), 108 religious women live.
