Ana Marija Marović

Ana Marija Marović (pseudonym Filotea; 1815 – 3 October 1887) was a writer and painter in Italy and Montenegro. She also founded a women's congregation and co-founded the Instituto Canal ai Servi, an institution devoted to helping women. A cause for her beatification in the Catholic Church was formally opened on 12 January 1952, and she was declared a Servant of God. Some of her poems were republished in 1963 and 1997.

Life Ana Marija Marović was born in 1815 in Venice, at that time part of the Austrian-held Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia. Her father was Captain Jozo Marović, a ship-owner and merchant, and her mother was Marija Ivanović.

A translation of Marović's poems was made and published by Don Gracija Ivanović in 1963.
