Rome, the Eternal city, can be defined in many ways which more often than not end up mirroring a welter of contradictions.
Via Veneto for instance where la dolce vita began almost 50 years ago has its own mystical side too: a church called Santa Maria Immacolata which features an ossuary known as the Capuchin Crypt .
A place that some of you may find a little bit morbid as it has been entirely decorated with the bones of over 4000 Capuchin friars who lived and died in Rome from 1520 to 1870.
Actually it’s nothing of the sort, but just the friars’ way of exorcising death and giving the world an important message: the body is just a shell , the fragile house where the soul lives only for a very short time.
As a matter of fact there are five bone-made crypts and they can be visited only by previous appointment.
You may go and ask one of the keepers (from 9:oo to 12:00; from 15:00 to 18:00) or send an email to the official website.
