Life
A Brescian merchant’s daughter who ran her father’s mill-girls’ welfare before she ran hospitals — through cholera, war, and the bombardment of Brescia, where her Handmaids of Charity walked the streets gathering the wounded of both armies. She could not go to bed with a quiet conscience, she said, on a day she had missed a chance to do good.
