Chiesa dei MortiChiesa dei Morti (Church of the Dead)
In the quaint Italian town of Urbania in the Pesaro and Urbino province of the Marche region is a rather unique yet fascinating church called the Chiesa dei Morti (Church of the Dead). The church contains 18 naturally mummified bodies and 100 skulls all on display in a crypt behind the altar.

The Feast of San Domenico and the Ritual of Serpari of Cocullo
One of the most popular traditional feasts of Abruzzo, well-known also abroad, is undoubtedly the Feast of San Domenico in Cocullo, a small mountain village in the province of L’Aquila. You may ask yourself how a feast in a small village can be so well known outside of Italy. The reason for this is that the statue of San Domenico is covered with real snakes caught by locals called “serpari” (snake charmers).
