'''Osanna of Mantua''' (also '''"Hosanna'''") (17 January 1449 &ndash; 18 June 1505) was an [[Italian people|Italian]] [[Third Order of St. Dominic|Dominican tertiary]] who gained notice as a [[stigmata|stigmatic]] and [[Christian mysticism|mystic]].
 
==Life==
Osanna was the daughter of the [[nobility|nobles]] Niccolò Andreasi, whose family had originated in Hungary,<ref>[{{cite web|url=http://www.traditioninaction.org/SOD/j243sd_OssanaMantua_06_18.html ''|title=Blessed Osanna of Mantua'' by|author=Plinio Prof.Corrêa de Oliveira|authorlink=Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira]}}</ref> and of Agnese Gonzaga.<ref>It is not known if her mother was related to the [[House of Gonzaga|Mantuan ruling family]]: see A.

Unable to explain her attraction to religious life to her father, in 1463, at the age of 14, she secretly received the [[religious habit]] of the [[Third Order of St. Dominic]]. She had been drawn to this Order from her admiration of two members of the Order, [[Catherine of Siena]], and her contemporary, [[Friar]] [[Girolamo Savonarola]], who both represented to her lives of strict self-denial.<ref>''Vita della Beata Osanna Andreasi'' by Roberta Ghirardini [http://www.a-mantova.com/inac/andreasi.htm]{{in lang|it}}</ref>
 
Returning home, Osanna explained that she had made a religious [[vow]] and had to wear it until she had fulfilled her promise.,<ref name="patrick">{{cite web|last=Rabenstein |first=Katherine |title=Blessed Hosanna of Mantua, OP Tert. |work=Saints O' the Day for June 18 |date=June 1998 |url=http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0618.htm |access-date=2012-02-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070206180037/http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0618.htm |archive-date=February 6, 2007 |url-status=unfit }}</ref> which is an ancient custom.

When Osanna was thirty years old, she received the stigmata on her head, her side and her feet. She also had a vision in which her heart was transformed and divided into four parts. For the rest of her life, she actively experienced the [[Passion (Christianity)|Passion of Jesus]], but especially intensely on Wednesdays and Fridays. Osanna confided these things in her biographer and "spiritual son," the [[Olivetans|Olivetan]] [[monk]], [[Dom (title)|Dom]] Jerome of Mount Olivet, as well as the fact that for years, she subsisted on practically no food at all.<ref name="ashley">{{cite web | last =Ashley | first =Benedict | title =Osanna d'Andreasi | work =Blessed Osanna d'Andreasi and Other Renaissance Italian Dominican Women Mystics | url =http://www.domcentral.org/study/ashley/osanna.htm | access-date =2007-04-11 | url-status =dead | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20080320094220/http://www.domcentral.org/study/ashley/osanna.htm | archive-date =2008-03-20 }}</ref>

Osanna was a mystic who would fall into ecstasies whenever she spoke of God, and a visionary who saw images of Christ bearing his cross. She bore [[stigmata]] along with red marks, but there was no bleeding. She helped the poor and sick and served as spiritual director for many, spending much of her family's considerable fortune to help the unfortunate. She spoke out against [[decadence]], and criticized the [[aristocracy]] for a lack of morality. She was a friend of another member of her Order, [[Columba of Rieti]], and is recorded to have sought counsel from another, the [[Stephana de Quinzanis]].<ref name="patron"/>

==Relationship with Girolamo de Monte Oliveto==
Her confidant, Dom Jerome ({{lang-langx|it|Girolamo de Monte Oliveto}}), wrote a ''vita'' (biography) of her life in 1507, very shortly after her death. Although Jerome noted that Osanna was not quick to discuss her spiritual experiences, in the last years of her life she adopted Jerome as a "spiritual son," "conceived in the Blood of Christ."<ref name="ashley"/>
 
Jerome's account is especially unique due to his intimate relationship with his subject. The biography takes the form of a detailed report of his conversations with Osanna. Jerome appended to his account [[Latin language|Latin]] translations of twenty-four letters from Osanna, accompanied by documents certifying their authenticity.<ref name="ashley"/>
