Catacombe dei Cappuccini
A journey into the shadows: between eternal silences and buried secrets. The journey begins where the boundary between life and death dissolves: the Capuchin Catacombs, a place suspended in time, where hundreds of mummified bodies watch us in silence. With each step, we delve deeper into a hidden world of bones, skulls and corridors that hold forgotten truths and whispers from beyond.
Among all these presences, one stands out above all: Rosalia Lombardo, the "Sleeping Child". His perfectly preserved body, with its serene face and half-closed eyes, still looks alive. The mystery of its mummification defies explanation: science and legend are intertwined in one of the most disturbing phenomena in the world.
