Full Scream Ahead | Your Spooky Road Trip Bucket List

A Spooky Sicilian Mummy's Day


Listen Later

No, it's not an early Mother's Day special, just full of bad puns. This week we're off to Palermo, Sicily, Italy to talk mummies and catacombs in the Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo. These catacombs were made by friars in the 1500s who soon set to work perfecting their mummification process. Residents include past prominent Sicilian politicians, friars, and the World's Most Beautiful Mummy. We encourage only those with strong stomachs to look up the photos of the displays in these catacombs.
