Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Visit Rome’s Capuchin Crypts, decorated with the bones of more than 3,700 monks. Skulls form wall patterns, vertebrae become chandeliers, and entire rooms serve as a striking meditation on mortality.
Before entering, your guide explains why the Capuchins created this extraordinary display and how to understand the symbolism behind the bone arrangements. Inside, you’ll explore with the venue’s required audio guide, while your guide remains available for the questions that inevitably arise when you’re standing beneath someone’s spine.
Most tours end at the crypt. We don’t.
Afterwards, continue through Rome’s historic centre to uncover darker stories hidden behind the city’s elegant monument...
