The pilgrims visit the rather macabre Capuchin Crypt, wherein the bones of deceased monks of the order are used as a sort of sculptures. It is said they are not meant tio be macabre but as " a silent reminder of the swift passage of life on Earth.". Twain also remarks that there are few art works of historical events in Rome, except for the Rape of the Sabines. This is my second attempt to use Blip.tv as a platform for serving the video slide shows. It should be automatically linked to a YouTube version as well.
