Rosalia Lombardo (December 13, 1918 in Palermo, Italy – December 6, 1920)[1] was an Italian child who died of pneumonia. Rosalia’s father, official Mario Lombardo, was sorely grieved upon her death, so he approached Alfredo Salafia, a noted embalmer, to preserve her.[2] Her body was one of the last corpses to be admitted to the Capuchin catacombs of Palermo in Sicily.
