I still have the photo I took of her. She's just lovely.Wow, this is extraordinaire! Rosalia Lombardo was an Italian child born in 1918 in Palermo, Sicily. I too was intrigued from start to finish.What a fascinating story. I have never heard of this before. Artist has some BS about what the hell that's supposed to mean.I came to this page to read up on the mummy. Thank you for a very informative and interesting read.Thank you for sharing. I've heard of little Rosalia before but found this hub to be interesting.I do not feel sorry for the chold passing at such a young age; she knows no different. I find it highly impressive.
The Macabre Capuchin Catacombs in Palermo. May she rest in peace and may her memory live on as her story is shared and thoughts spared for her by those who visit and stop to think. In death she's become something larger than life. Death at a stand still.it was the great discovery in the world of archeology and also science. But sad for her that she cannot rest in peace.Hi Rosemary, thank you so much for sharing your experience on this blog.I visited the place two times and will come back to do some paintings of Rosalia-with all respects.So heart breaking, such a beautiful girl… I also read about her life before she died hereHi Mike, your piece is very detailed and informative. Humans have kind of have shiny skin, but it is not that shiny. It also showed her arms at her sides.
Still sealed inside her tiny glass coffin, Rosalia sleeps, her little head pokes above a fading silk blanket. Voted up and shared.Weird and fascinating story! Creepy, yet really draws me into curiosity. As the innocence of the young toddler is forever frozen in time, the quality of her beauty captures the imagination of generation after generation. Several time-lapse photos exist that appear to substantiate this claim, showing them opening at least 1/8 of an inch, revealing her intact blue eyes underneath. I hope tourists respect that and avoid taking any further pictures of her. I have seen first hand the impact mummies have on people and the emotions can be overwhelming like when I visited Mummies Of The World in Baltimore. Very intriguing and amazing on how she is kept well perserved. I felt sorry for her as she was being preserved mummies.I am actually familiar with the story of Rosalia Lombardo, however I haven't seen all the information in one place like this... kudos to the author.In your second paragraph you mentioned blonde hair.
GOD BLESS JESUS THAT HE MADE U AS BEAUTIFUL AS A CHILD , TEEN , AND ADULT.
Her premature death at age two left her father grief stricken. She’s the most famous of all the 8,000 mummies lining the catacombs beneath the Capuchin convent in Palermo, Sicily. Only the glass lid remains.A caretaker at the catacombs overlays a second sheet of glass over Rosalia's coffin for added protection.Rosalia inside her tiny glass coffin. :)Thank you so much! Rosalia Lombardo (13 December 1918 – 6 December 1920) was an Italian child who died of pneumonia, resulting from the Spanish flu . I agree, we are so intrigued by death. She looks as though she is a sleeping angel. The sleeping angel of gods phenomenon.Very good hub :) I am familiar with this mummy and saw the show on tv about her. Her name is heard all over the world, included in Indonesia; but not all of us know exactly who she was. Nobody has ever looked underneath the blanket that covers Rosalia's body since she was sealed inside her coffin 90 years ago.Further adding to the lore of Rosalia's mummy are reports of her eyes opening!. Such a theory became one of the topics of a History Channel documentary in the 2000s. You can also tell by looking at the other 'art' on her site.Rosalia is an angel of beauty and purity. She looks like she's just asleep. In death she's become something larger than life.
