EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the eerie depths of the Catacombs, Convento dei Cappucini in Palermo, circa 1895. The creator of this haunting image is none other than Eugenio Interguglielmi, a masterful photographer of his time. As we gaze upon this macabre scene, we are transported to an underground world filled with rows upon rows of bodies. The catacomb walls are lined with embalmed corpses dressed in ecclesiastical attire, a chilling reminder of mortality and the passage of time. This cryptic space serves as a final resting place for priests and devout Christians who sought eternal peace within its subterranean chambers.

Today, tourists from around the world flock to Palermo to witness firsthand this unique tourist attraction steeped in religious heritage. Preserved within glass negatives from over a century ago, Interguglielmi's work now finds its home at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only these mummified figures but also our fascination with life's
