Catacombs of Palermo, Sicily

[seesar0008]

Thumbs up if your a Necrophillian just because of this.

[127cobra]

It's pretty crazy how that little girl at the end still looks as if she were still alive.

[joewars66]

Who are these guys?

[yukony001]

freaky

[DanDenali]

quick, someone call ghost busters!!

[JewmantheHero]

Alright final. This is the real 2:44

[PromosbyRicochet]

@JewmantheHero The one with a well preserved face is the mummy of a 2 year old little girl named Rosalia Lombardo 1918-1920. Necrophilia is gross enough, but she is or was still a baby.

[JewmantheHero]

Mistake. It was 2:27

[JewmantheHero]

2:47 It's what made me a necrophiliac. It looked like a woman's face. I'm not really sure if it's a woman because i haven't went there yet.

[JewmantheHero]

I think , i'm a necrophiliac now. :(

[EngPheniks]

Supposing you want to go to toilet in the middle of the night and you have to walk through this place to get there. Brrrr!

[TonyWRO]

scarriest catacombs ever

[freacls]

i think the saddest mummy is little Rosalina Lombardo she was only 2 when she died of phemonia and her parents wanted her preserved and she still really sweet looking to thise day youd think she was sleeping even the curls in her hair are still intact

[HoboIncorperated]

i know what it says at 1:13 Praised be Thou, O Lord, for Sister Death Troner Blessed are those who do your holy will, about the death secono nolifarra tional

[MartinaMovies]

@HumansStupid Kinda weird to say this when you are watching it yourself, the ' no foto and video' thing is in the middle of this vid. So you started watching this and saw that. And then say bad things about the vid, why? When you see the title you know where its about. Why do you watch it then? Out of interest I guess. So if this guy didnt film it you didnt see this vid. Actually you and me thank him for filming it, by watching it. So dont first watch it and then say he shouldnt have filmed it

[truuuls]

i bet its ghost there!

[Bluetail19]

Does anybody knwo a proper document about this site?

[sherri231]

doesn't it gives u the creeps when going inside?

[toole7]

@sherri231 hell yea it would. just think of walking in and seeing all those dead bodies that used to be living people back in the 1500 and 1600's....makes u wonder

[JKAFinal]

whats so scary about this place? its just a resting place for them.

[klabbe95]

@JKAFinal No they should be burried to rest in peace

[goodboybuddy1]

That was so cool. I was there, years ago, and my friend got really scared. I hear that the relatives went and hung out with the dearly departed on Sundays and special Holy days. Thanks for posting!

[ash22man22]

Imagine being the night security guard there ! If you type Palermo Catacomb into wikipedia there is the picture of a 2 year old girl that's one of the worlds best preserved bodies, she looks like she's sleeping !!!

[toole7]

@ash22man22 u talkin about Rosalia Lambardo..

[ash22man22]

@toole7 yes, its amazing how well preserved she is !

[SidneyXda]

2:14 looks creepiest to me, its dark, they look like they are standing ..well leaning against the wall.. aware of your presence.

[RustyBlade69]

I think the paris catacombs are way creepier.

[ejdf870]

This beats the Paris catacombs by FAR.

I can't believe I lived near Palermo for three years, but never went to see this.

I will make it a priority next time I go.

[ReinaAntilles]

That was fascinating.  Thanks for posting & educating.

[GuyRMartorana]

Yes, just regular folks like you and I.

[alnilam66]

@GuyRMartorana no disrespect. i,m sure those people would want to be photographed.

to preserve there memory

[leedshunk]

@GuyRMartorana this is even more amazing than the capuchin catacombs in rome !!!!!

[MrBritler]

is that real people hanging on the wall

[xZEUSERS]

@MrBritler Yes.Those mummified have been there for years,even centuries!The place was suppose to be a crypt for monks,but the city soon allowed other kinds of bodies.

[MrBritler]

@xZEUSERS they should have a robot there which move so people would be scared

[jaydeybugz]

the music made this worse haha D:

[Jamie4137]

in all fairness the skeletons wouldnt bother me, but too see the bodies still with skin like at 1:03 would just freak me out...

[beerdeddi]

I want to look whats inside of those one!

[domitillaroma]

what has sicilian culture as faith ??? 1: this cript was made more than a century ago 2: your idea of sicilians in american movies has been full of lies and stereotype 3: sicilians are not stupid: they don't believe in all church 4:sicilians are not ignorants: in Italy best writers, musicians, scientist are sicilians 5: too in other part of world there are catacombs, certainly: not so large and with a little girl perfectly imbalmed[ by a SICILIAN scientist]

[mientememami]

Also, I think it's funny how many people leave comments about how disrespectful this is to the dead. Such ignorance of Sicilian culture and belief. Perhaps you reactionary ethnocentrists should try opening up a book and learning something.

[mientememami]

I just visited this catacombs a few months ago. It was amazing! Palermo is an incredible city, but the Capuchin Monastery is not to be missed. Little Rosalia is so well preserved. It's as though she's just sleeping. Grazie per questo video, GuyRMartorana!

[azooz2121]

صح عليك يآ علي والله و تطرونآآ و صرنآ نحط ردود باليوتيوب هع

[MrJo0oJ007]

What is this.?

Where are the human rights that you are talking about

Thus you do with the dead.?

Deceased should be buried in the landscape for tourists.!!

It is true that Islam has honored man. But you no comment

[catlover75]

What does Islam have to do with this video? these people wanted(and payed good money) to be like this

[dark1evil2]

the dead should stay underground

thats brutal

[catlover75]

Its what they wanted, they paid good money to be put there...

[nikolathereal]

i see brutaly things on internet, but this is woha really hard!

[Italblessings]

Amazing. Thanks for uploading.

[GuyRMartorana]

Thanks !

[catlover75]

I love this, and the music is so appropriate(sp)..what was it like in there?

[gluntford]

great video thank you so much

[GuyRMartorana]

Thanks.

[heavenspaw]

Did they rot down there or were they already decomposed when they were put in there?

[GuyRMartorana]

Our guide indicated they paid good money to be embalmed and preserved. However, as you can see, time has a way of changing things.

[TheTravelingbard]

nope they decomposed down there

[freacls]

@heavenspaw only little Rosalia was preserved

[hollywoodartchick]

Beautiful footage. Thanks for sharing. In a way, I would like to visit, and in a way, I don't know if I could deal with it. It is very interesting. What a time capsule of the centuries!

[GuyRMartorana]

It a very open area . However, the walk down could be a little crowded.

[sheepdog2c7]

whats it like in there i am very clostraphobic (excuse spelling!) but i would love to visit italy and the catacombs.

[PrismaticRAYS]

There was one mummy that looked better than some live ppl I know. I'd like to spend the night there, just once, to see if I could sense any spirits.

[Cutekittengirl4]

brr... I first time saw and heard about that place in the program: Scariest place on earth.. I have now read in Illustratet knowlegde (Danish magasine) That the Rosalia mystery have been solved by a guy: Professor Alfredo Salafia.... If i was in there i probaly wouldn't sleep that night :s

[GuyRMartorana]

Thank you.

Midnight Syndicate-Vampyre Symphonies from the Crypt-01-Awakening.

Is there an attempt to halt and reverse the darkening of Rosalia?

[Maddalena1]

Thank you!

I was there last 19 Aug and as far as I have learned there won't be any attempt to reverse the darkening of the little mummy...too bad...

[Maddalena1]

Hello... I like this video, is very well done, the camera follows the music in a special way! what music is this?

Unfortunately Rosalia has grown dramatically dark in the last three years. For those who never had the chance to see her in the past: she was different, she was really wounderful, dressed, more clear in face...

By the way r.i.p. little Rosalia...

[radiojim1023]

Rosalia Lombardo must have been such a beautiful child in life. And such beautiful work done by the embalmer , to maintain so much of her appearance for this many years is amazing!!

[javialpalo]

io me cague lo pantaloni! pui palometi! = i shit in my pants. my shit is already coming out through my asshole.

[ragazzoshitfuck409]

what language is that? that's neither sicilian nor italian.

[javialpalo]

its a mix bettween spanish and english and 2 spoons of italian, ma fa gulo!

[zeronovantuno]

I live near these Catacoms :D

It's a shame that videos or photos aren't allowed..and it's stupid..come on, they're only bones :O

Btw, very very cool place :D

[GuyRMartorana]

No... not at all.

[132062]

Does it stink in there?

[javialpalo]

you ass stinks! already

[sathyayork]

it says no photo..r we allowed to take pictures in there..i would be pissed if they dont allow to take snaps, eventhough its insulting for the dead, its cool for me

[GuyRMartorana]

I would have felt the same way.

[ILuvDepp]

I Would love to see this....although i dont think i could look at kids....especially the little girl Rosalia Lombardo.

[punkrockgrl1977]

I would love to see this myself. It's kind of morbid yes, but death is supposed to be the most beautiful part of our lives. It is a fitting tribute and I would love to see little Rosalia Lombardo.

[GuyRMartorana]

Thanks.

[catlover75]

Wow!
