About
Throughout the crypt, naturally preserved bodies are staged in a variety of poses.
Entering the dark crypt beneath the Church of St. Stephen in Ferentillo is an unsettling experience. The space is filled with mummies, their aged flesh as stoney looking as the interior. Some of the mummies of are not hidden away within tightly sealed cases or illuminated in flattering lighting. They lurk within the dark crypt below the church, their preserved corpses staged in various poses behind only a thin veil of glass.
