Ángela de Foligno

Ángela de Foligno

Angela of Foligno (ca. 1242-1308) was best known in his time and his land, Umbria late thirteenth century, as Lella, Franciscan tertiary. His life reflects that of many men and women of their time seeking God in the margins of official religious praxis. As she recounts, the turning point of his life was a pilgrimage to Assisi where he took direct contact with the divine, which never left since. The Memoriale perhaps his only work up and takes the form of autobiography narrated.
