Benedetta Carlini
Italian mystic and nun (1590–1661)
Benedetta Carlini
Benedetta Carlini (20 January 1590 – 7 August 1661) was an Italian Catholic nun. As abbess of the Convent of the Mother of God at Pescia, she was best known for her claims of experiencing mystic visions as well as a reported lesbian relationship with a nun. Her scandalous career resulted in life imprisonment until her death in 1661. The case of Benedetta was described in the 1985 nonfiction book Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy by Judith C. Brown, later fictionalized in the 2021 film Benedetta.
