Title:
Topografia di santità femminile [Clare of Assisi is only one of several saintly Umbrian women of the 13th and 14th centuries. These include nuns and penitent women. Nor is Umbria alone in its number of holy women. The urbanization of the region may help explain this phenomenon, with mendicant orders and third orders providing opportunities for women who were not, like many nuns in established houses, of noble birth. Originally published as "Una terra di santi e di città: Suggestioni agiografiche in Italia," in Il movimento religioso femminile in Umbria nei secoli XIII-XIV: atti del Convegno internazionale di studio nell'ambito delle celebrazioni per l'VIII centenario della nascita di S. Francesco d'Assisi, Città di Castello, 27-28-29 ottobre, 1982. Edited by Roberto Rusconi (Scandicci,1984). Pages 185-202. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
