When my plans to travel to Italy in 2002 got cancelled, I had already put together the following itinerary:
BOLOGNA
- Chiesa della Santa--incorrupt body of St. Catherine of Bologna
- La Specola--anatomical waxes
- Università degli Studi di Firenze--teratology specimens
- Museo di Storia della Scienza--Galileo’s finger
- Monastery of St. Teresa--incorrupt body of St. Theresa Margaret of Sacred Heart
- Crypt of Santa Maria della Concezione--bone decorations
- Protestant Cemetery--graves of Keats, Shelley
- Il Gesú--arm of St. Francis Xavier
- Catacombe dei Cappuccini--catacombs w/more than 8,000 mummies
I have not yet seen my share of mummies and incorruptible saints...
