Fontenelle cemetery, Naples, ITALY

The Fontanelle cemetery in Naples is in a big cave in the side of a hill. In it, you can see the bones of people who died without a tomb. Mostly they were poor or victims of epidemics. Some people used to worship the skulls. They built little houses for them, asked them favors and brought them flowers. In the mid 20^th century, the church decided to stop the practice and closed the cemetery. Today it is a tourist attraction.
