in the Fatinelli house on April 27, 1272.
It is said that a star appeared above the attic where she slept at the moment of her death. She was 60 years old, and had served and edified the family for 48 years. By the time of her death, she had become practically venerated by the family.
After one hundred and fifty miracles had been attributed to Zita's intercession and recognized by the church, she was canonized in 1696. Her body was exhumed in 1580, discovered to be incorrupt, but has since become mummified.
Saint Zita's body is currently on display for public veneration in the Basilica di San Frediano in Lucca.
