The 24 Best Things to Do in Rome in 2025
"While the 17th-century church itself is relatively ordinary, I found the crypt at I Cappuccini macabre and unforgettable: the bones of some 4,000 friars decorate the walls and are even used as ornament (shinbone chandeliers, pelvic-bone hourglass), culminating in a chapel plaque that soberly reminds visitors, 'What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be.'" - Matthew Kepnes
