Saint Rose Venerini 1656-1728 Feast Day: May 7 Canonized in 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI

Saint Rose Venerini was born in Viterbo, Italy. She discerned the contemplative religious life after her fiancé died. Yet her true vocation was teaching, which she realized under the guidance of her spiritual director. She believed that to educate would improve the lives of the poor and in spite of severe opposition, she opened a preschool for girls and founded a religious institute of women called the Venerini Sisters. By the time of her death, she oversaw the training of teachers and administration of over 40 schools throughout Italy.

...is Italian Jesus different to Regular Catholic Jesus?

Italian Jesus is who you pray to when you need Ferrari to win. regular Jesus is too busy for that
