Rosalia Lombardo died of pneumonia in Palermo, Sicily in December 1920.
Her father took her body to a renowned embalmed, Alfredo Salafia, so her body would remain preserved; as she was to be one of the last people to entered in the Capuchin Catacombs.
Salfia's embalming technique worked so completely, that the body survived the ravages of time.
It was so well preserved that even in 1995,when the picture below was taken, she looked merely asleep.
Another fascinating aspect is Rosalia's eyes.
Some days and nights they'll slowly open and close, as if slowly waking from a long sleep.A/N - embalming = to preserve (a corpse) from decaying by the use of chemical etc.
