Catacombs, Convento dei Cappucini, Palermo. Artist: Eugenio Interguglielmi (Italian, Palermo 1850-1911 Palermo). Dimensions: 18.6 x 25.3 cm (7 5/16 x 9 15/16 in. ). Photography Studio: Eugenio Interguglielmi & Company (Italian, active 1895-1981). Date: ca. 1895.More than eight thousand embalmed corpses line the walls of the capuchin convent in Palermo, Sicily.

Here a blinding light shines on rows of clergy adorned in their finest vestments, bringing the spectacle of death to life. The crypt was already a popular tourist destination in the nineteenth century, and photographs like this one offered visitors a macabre souvenir of what a contemporaneous guidebook described as "truly disgusting.".
