Dimesses

Dimesses an order of nuns, consisting of young maids and widows, founded in the state of Venice in the 16th century by Dejanata Valmarana, the wife of a civilian of Verona. Rules for their observance were laid down by a Franciscan named Anthony Pagani, in 1584. Their habit was either black or brown woollen, as the wearer might choose.
