What does a skeleton in a suit look like? Contemporary fine art photography in Sicily, photos by Steve Giovinco

 

One of the strangest and most oddly compelling place I visited was the Sicilian catacombs of Palermo, where mummified ninteenth century skeletons are dressed. They wore suits–deteriorated–and were carefully organized by business or industry, ]including nicely attired bankers to farmers, and even a few children, which were heart-breaking. If you ever are in Palermo, visit the catacombs.
