The church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, or Our Lady of the Conception of the Capuchins, is a Catholic place of worship in Rome located at number 27 of via Veneto, built near Palazzo Barberini by Pope Urban VIII, in honor of his brother Antonio Barberini who was part of the Capuchin order, whose tomb is still preserved inside the church in front of the main altar. In this church there is also the tombstone of Cardinal Agapito Mosca (1678-1760), and the tomb of Father Mariano from Turin. The main attraction of the church is certainly the crypt-ossuary decorated with the bones of about 4000 Capuchin friars, collected between 1528 and 1870 from the old cemetery of the Capuchin order, which was located in the church of Santa Croce and San Bonaventura dei Lucchesi near the Quirinale. At the entrance to the crypt it is written on a plaque: «What you are we were; what we are you will be. " The crypt is made up of five small chapels connected by a corridor; inside there are also some whole bodies of some mummified friars wearing the typical clothes of the Capuchin friars and also a skeleton of a child on the ceiling holding a scales and a scythe. The five rooms are characterized by the use of a part of the human skeleton in particular or a theme each (tibias, basins, skulls, 3 skeletons and resurrection). , butterflies, etc.). The choice of decorating the crypt with bones, which could appear eerie and macabre, is actually a way of exorcising death and emphasizing that the body is nothing but a container for the soul, and as such once it is there 'has abandoned the container can be reused in another way.

An unusual exhibit , a memento mori, made of human bones of monks who lived in the monastery for centuries, a reminder that we are here only temporarily.
