About the author

The Order of the Most Holy Annunciation is a religious community rather than an individual author. Sources describe it as a Roman Catholic monastic order of women of pontifical right, commonly called the Annunziate Turchine in Italy.

The community was founded in Genoa in 1604 by Maria Vittoria De Fornari Strata, a widow who later took the religious name Suor Vittoria. What began as a house for girls in difficult circumstances developed into a cloistered order shaped by prayer and a Marian spirituality centered on the Annunciation.

Over time the order spread beyond Genoa, and its members became known for a hidden, contemplative life rather than public prominence. Because this is an institution and not a single person, there is no appropriate author portrait to provide here.
