Useful Info

Also known as the S. Maria della Concezione, this Barberini church provides one of the more macabre experiences in Rome for visitors who like that sort of thing. Five underground chapels are neatly decorated with the skulls and bones of more than 4000 Friars plus a few sons of noble families who died in childhood.

The earth in which they were interred before being reassembled as wall decorations was brought here from the Holy Land. Some of the monks’ skeletons are on display complete with hooded cowl. Very ghoulish! In the last century the church became notorious because of a certain Friar Pacifico who was believed to have foreknowledge of the winning numbers in the National Lottery. He was sent out of Rome by the Pope, but he gave a final set of winning numbers to his large following of pious punters. Metropolitana Barberini.
