==Life==
Osanna was the daughter of the [[nobility|nobles]] Niccolò Andreasi, whose family had originated in Hungary,<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
A legend states that Osanna, like
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 |
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.

These phenomena brought Ossana to the attention of Mantua's ruling family. Most notably, she was sought by [[Francesco II Gonzaga]] and his wife, [[Isabella d'Este]], as both a spiritual guide and a counselor on matters of state. She frequently foretold correctly events which later came to pass, and gained the reputation of a [[Clairvoyance|seer]]. When she died in Mantua on 18 June 1505, all the members of the nobility and clergy attended her funeral, as her body was taken in procession to the Church of St. Dominic, where it was enshrined. Later her remains were transferred to the [[Mantua Cathedral|Cathedral of St. Peter]], where they are still venerated.<ref>Ghirardini</ref>
==Relationship with Girolamo de Monte Oliveto==
Her confidant, Dom Jerome ({{
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"/>
