Description

A Journey into the Shadows: Among Eternal Silences and Buried Secrets Our path begins where the line between life and death fades: the Capuchin Catacombs, a place suspended in time, where hundreds of mummified bodies silently watch us. With every step, we delve deeper into a hidden world—of bones, skulls, and corridors that guard forgotten truths and whispers from the beyond. Among all these presences, one stands out: Rosalia Lombardo, the “Sleeping Child.” Her perfectly preserved body, with a peaceful face and half-closed eyes, seems still alive. The mystery of her mummification defies explanation—science and legend intertwine in one of the world’s most haunting wonders. But the journey doesn’t end here. We’ll continue on to one of Palermo’s most enigmatic cemeteries, where ancient tombs conceal dark legends, forgotten rituals, and stories that have never found rest. Among worn headstones and cryptic symbols, we’ll share with you what cannot be found in any book… An intense and captivating experience—for those brave enough to look where others turn away.
