Comment from Philippa Burne
Some people find it macabre and some find it a celebration of life on earth. The Capuchin order of Franciscan monks (whose crypt it is) consider it a homage and reminder of the swift passage of life on earth. Located in Rome beneath the 17th century church Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini on Via Veneto
