I wanna be made into a disco ball.

>The pope's brother, Cardinal Antonio Barberini, who was of the Capuchin Order, in 1631 ordered the remains of thousands of Capuchin friars exhumed and transferred from the friary on the Via dei Lucchesi to the crypt. The bones were arranged along the walls in varied designs, and the friars began to bury their own dead here, as well as the bodies of poor Romans whose tomb was under the floor of the present Mass chapel. Here the Capuchins would come to pray and reflect each evening before retiring for the night.

No one cares dude, the hypocrisy to say no photos when creating this thing is laughable.

Well, I wanna demonstrate my respect for the dead by documenting all the cool-ass shit they got turned into.

I bet this was a huge inspiration for H.R. Giger

Sill better use of dead people than a graveyard.

And if i do it ppl call me weird

If that’s you I’d love to know your leg routine

Be kind! there was a terrible macaroni shortage for a few years.

Just visited this September! Was awesome!

Looks like it. The hole on each one would be from the spinal cord

I was like “Bowie-Musk, what?”

People show respect to the dead in different ways and cultures and their boundaries should be honored.

I have to wonder why they didn’t dig deeper? And bury the others on top? But I also see it’s home to 3700 remains. So I guess that really does explain

That is fucking hilarious.

I don't think they'll mind if you take photos of the fun designs that have been made of their only bones. I think the point of offense has long been crossed on that.

That's a nice painting smooth skin 😉

Thought of a serial killer

For real, they went full garry's mod on them bones and don't want anyone to take photos? Right.

Fun fact, the famous Italian coffee beverage 'Cappuccino' is named after Capuchin Friars, who sport robes of similar colours.

It's not a cappuccini unless you steam and foam the bones

One day my thrifty upcycled water bottle fleshlight will be considered centuries old spiritual practice :)
