Saint Lucia was born in Cornetto Tarkania. She was an orphaned at an early age. At the age of 6, she went to live with her aunt and uncle who encouraged her religious inclination by entrusting her education to the Benedictine nuns at Santa Lucia. Lucia left behind all the worldly things and began her career under the patronage of Cardinal Marc Antonio Barbarigo, who envisioned her as a key factor to bring about a rebirth of Christian living and entrusted her with the work of founding schools for young women, especially the poor.
