Anna Maria Taigi (29 May 1769 - 9 June 1837), born Anna Maria Giannetti, was an Italian Roman Catholic professed member from the Secular Trinitarians.
She married Domenico Taigi, a brash and impulsive individual though devoted to his wife.Taigi experienced a series of ecstasies during her life and was reported to have heard the voices of God and Jesus Christ on several occasions.
She became a Secular Trinitarian after experiencing a sudden religious conversion.That happened in the winter of 1790 at Saint Peter's Basilica when Taigi came into contact with a range of cardinals and luminaries, which included Vincent Strambi and the bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget.
The beatification process opened in 1863 under Pope Pius IX after she was titled as a Servant of God and Pope Benedict XV later beatified her in mid-1920.
