The child of a noble Roman family, Hyacinth was born in Vignarello, near Viterbo, in 1585. She entered the sisterhood of the Third Order while still a young girl. She did not take readily to religious life and it was only while convalescing after serious illness that she underwent a conversion. From that time onwards her physical penances were severe and were coupled with works of charity. God endowed her with charismatic gifts also. Her death occurred at Viterbo in 1640. She was canonized in 1807.
