Fina (Serafina) (1238–1253) was an Italian Christian virgin who is especially venerated in the Tuscan town of San Gimignano.

She developed a paralytic illness and spent the rest of her life on a bed made from a wooden pallet, where, according to legends, Saint Gregory the Great appeared to her to predict her death.

Visitors were surprised to receive words of encouragement from a desperately ill young girl who was resigned to the will of God.

Legends say that, at the exact moment of Fina's passing away, all the bells of San Gimignano rang without anyone touching them.

When Fina's body was removed from the pallet that was her deathbed, onlookers saw white violets bloom from the wood,[1] and smelt a fresh, floral fragrance throughout her house.

Once on the anniversary of Fina's death, when the townsfolk had declared a holiday in her honor, a neighbor, Cambio di Rustico, went to cut wood and hurt his leg.

In the hospital's chapel, the original oak wood table where Saint Fina lay down for five years is preserved.

The most important monument dedicated to Saint Fina is her chapel in the Collegiata, designed by Giuliano da Maiano in 1468[5] and consecrated in 1488.

[7] Also depicted is an angel ringing the bells, Beldia's cured hand and the self-portrait of the painter and his brother-in-law Mainardi, who painted the chapel's ceiling.

Other artists depicting the saint's life include Piero del Pollaiuolo and Pier Francesco Fiorentino.
