THE FONTANELLE CEMETERY

Located in the same neighbourhood as the catacombs, it is made up of three large cellars of tufa, where thousands of human skulls and bones are conserved, finally covered with land during the great plague which hit Naples in 1656. Two centuries later, these vaults will be reopened to the public. A strange cult, between Christianity and Idolatry, developed in many of the Neapolitan families.
