Kungekudala amaGorettis afudukela kwiAgro Pontino. Ngo-1900 utata wakhe wasweleka, umama wakhe kwafuneka aqale ukusebenza kwaye washiya uMaria ukuba anyamekele indlu kunye nabantakwabo. Kwiminyaka elishumi elinanye, uMary wenza uMthendeleko wakhe wokuqala kwaye wenza isigqibo sokufa ngaphambi kokwenza izono. U-Alessandro Serenelli, umfana oneminyaka eyi-18, wathandana noMaria. NgoJulayi 5, 1902, wamhlasela wazama ukumdlwengula. Ekuchaseni kwakhe wambulala ngokumgwaza. UMaria wasweleka emva kotyando, ngosuku olulandelayo, nangaphambi kokuba afe wamxolela uSerenelli. Umbulali wagwetywa iminyaka engama-30 entolongweni. Waguquka kwaye waguquka kuphela emva kokuphupha uMariya emxelela ukuba uzakufika ezulwini. Xa wakhululwa emva kweminyaka engama-27 wacela uxolo kumama kaMariya. UMaria Goretti wabhengezwa njengongcwele ngo-1950 nguPius XII. (Ixesha elizayo)
