Daniela Zanetta (1962–1986) was an Italian laywoman and member of the Focolare Movement, renowned for her profound faith and joyful acceptance of suffering. Born in Maggiora, Italy, she was diagnosed at birth with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a rare and painful skin condition that caused her skin to be extremely fragile and prone to blistering. Despite her chronic pain and frequent hospitalizations, Daniela maintained a vibrant spiritual life, participating actively in her parish and joining the Focolare Movement in 1973. Her deep spirituality was expressed through a daily journal, where she wrote letters to Jesus, offering her suffering and reflecting on her spiritual journey.‍

Throughout her life, Daniela demonstrated a remarkable ability to find joy and purpose in her suffering. She viewed her condition as a means to unite herself with the suffering of Christ, often stating that her pain was a "seal stamped on my flesh since my first cry." Her unwavering faith led her to oppose euthanasia and advocate for the sanctity of life, writing articles to promote these values. In her final days, she distributed her modest savings to the poor and expressed gratitude for her life, saying, "Thank you, thank you for everything," before passing away on April 14, 1986, at the age of 23.‍

The Catholic Church recognized Daniela's heroic virtue, and on March 23, 2017, Pope Francis declared her Venerable.
