0:21 bless you, lol The open crypt around 19 minutes in had water in it, likely the breeding ground for the mosquitos. The scent of death is caused by two sulphur based compounds, cadaverine, and putrescine. I've found that the scent of coffee (another sulphur based cent) is a good smell to clear bad smells out of the sinuses. Burt's bees lip balm with menthol to the upper lip is another good way to get a bad scent out of the sinuses.

Cadaverine, where we get cadaver from. That’s interesting, thank you. I think pathologists/crime scene investigators put Vicks under their noses, or I may have watched too many crime shows

The mausoleum at 12:10. Maria Giulio Colonna, Duchess of Atri. She was the mistress of King Joseph I Bonaparte of Spain. She had two illegitimate children with him.

I have been really enjoying your videos on the cemeteries in Italy. They are truly cities of the dead.

On my mom's side of the family, my great grandfather was born in Milano, Italy. When his first child, a daughter, died after contracting tetanus from a dental procedure at age 15 years, he was devastated. He apparently put her in an airtight glass coffin and kept her at home for more than a week. She is underground now so I never saw it first hand. I wonder if it is a cultural thing for Italians to do? Interesting! ❤

I'm amazed at how huge this cemetery is. Most of this area seems to be in great condition. That glass coffin is creepy for sure.

Cant have been easy bringing the departed in to rest in these areas with all the stairs and twists and turns to navigate.

Love the birdsong 🌹🇦🇺

There doesn’t seem to be any sort of organization to this pkace, it’s wonderful and lovely and chaotic, I’d probably get lost

Wow, I've never seen anything like this! Thank you for sharing. I have to say, the bust next to the glass coffin scared me more than the glass coffin! Lol. Hope you get well soon!

This cemetery is sure interesting, it is so higglety-pigglety, no plan for the layout of the place it seems, just random, but fascinating, thanks for this !

The loud sounds cover up the whispering you would be hearing...lol.

Wow, you are spot on with your commentary! The glass coffin had a priest? I saw the white collar and I could only think it was a religious person. The wires I thought were for an alarm system are lights?? The voltage must be low, as the connector block was exposed to the weather, which would be bad for regular house current. I will never get used to having lights in a graveyard or mausoleum. They are just too inappropriate for such use. But you see it more and more often. I have never been in a place with so many burials and interments! I can smell the death smell you speak of, and I am glad for you, that it isn't the smell of burnt bodies. For me, the smell of burnt or burning bodies is the worst! Well, it was a good video! Thanks for doing this place! I would of had a hard time believing this if you were just talking about it!

Hi Dan, This Cemetery is really cool. Please be safe. The Mob is not something you want to mess with at all, Keep these videos coming. Jean Crosby Nashville TN USA

There's a local mausoleum near me that I like to visit. It's very modern. long halls with electric lighting, carpet, lots of places to sit. I've found a small area that will just reek of death now and then. The staff do what they can to try to keep it from happening but ...well...the walls are literally full of dead bodies. I guess places like this will smell at times. Strange with such seemingly old interments, though. You'd think the purification for many of them would be long gone. Maybe not all of them are so old. Absolutely agree about how it sticks to the roof of your mouth. There's no mistaking it when you smell it, either. Thank you for sharing!

They need to upgrade the venting system. That will take care of the odor.

This cemetery is astounding. It seems that you have "streets and neighborhoods" that are clean and well maintained, and turn the corner and you are in the slums. Be safe.

Most likely a widow. In that time, preserving and keeping the body was important. So, a widow most likely sat in the crypt from time to time (probably Sunday and holidays) to “visit”. Not uncommon.

One possibility is that they're considered a candidate for sainthood. Apparently one of the "miraculous" signs of sainthood accepted by the Roman Catholic Church (and also Eastern Orthodox sects) are mortal remains that are "incorrupt", or in a remarkable state of preservation without embalming.

I have a feeling the glass coffin contains the young girl in the picture on the altar in the back, especially considering all the offerings of lights and decorations on the coffin, which I can see a parent's never ending love bringing faithfully

WOW i am absolutely loving this series,, Thank you so much for taking us with you

The memorials are astounding! I've never seen anything so magnificent that isn't some ancient tomb. They really care about their deceased. Too bad so much has fallen into ruin.

Well this is a nice surprise Dan God bless you

Thank you for this. I don't know if I'll ever make it there in my lifetime and it was very interesting.

So big! So interesting! Each country takes care of their dead a little differently. That’s a hell of a lot of dead people Dan! Looking forward to #8 😎✌🏼

Its just fascinating, to see all the wealth, and expense it took to build these tombs for people nobody remembers or cares about any longer. And to think all of it, is absolutely useless. Serves no practical purpose, but look at the effort we humans put into these useless things, monuments. Obviously their purpose is more complex than that, and you could argue that their purpose was to console the loved ones of the person who died, and in a way to soothe those who are still alive.

That was awesome. Great find.

Very interesting cemetery, lots of tombs to explore. In Italy they tend to place the body in a zinc liner which is hermetically sealed, then placed in a timber coffin. This preserves the body to a certain point but mostly prevents odours and bodily fluids from leaking out! The glass coffin is unusual, it could have been someone very holy, like a priest or monk who is revered.

Legendary phrase of this year for me. Shes got sunglasses on. Great vid my friend.

Very interesting Dan. Hopefully no one offers you a choice you can't refuse. 😅 Be careful 😊 Also then I enjoyed the artificial turf in front of the Tomb.😅

This series has been awesome! Thank you Sir!

Hey Dan. Wow. With the building falling like that. That's a shame. OSHA. Our safety inspection place here in the states would have failed that cemetery in a heartbeat. Plus another incorrupt body. How amazing. I bet you are close to Rome. Rome is a spiritual area. You really outdid yourself. You are an amazing dude. I love watching you. Keep making me and America and around the world with your videos buddy. You're doing a great job. Your videos keeps getting better and better every time.

Really liked this tour!

Previously I always thought the mausoleums at Highgate and Argentina were impressive. But your vids at Paris and Naples is quite jaw dropping too

Another great clip thanks Dan, no thanks to glass coffin, the place seems enormous

I still find it incredibly sobering all the people who are interred there. Hundreds? Thousands? That bothers me the most I think... beautiful areas, some not so much. Thank you!!!❤

I was surprised at how few entries on Find A Grave.

It also radiates peace and tranquility as most cemeteries do also you could be right about the chair in the mausoleum there could have been someone watching you as all cemeteries have guardian spirits and elemental guardians too

Between the odors and insects aren’t you concerned about picking up a disease? Stay safe.

The glass coffins seen often in Naples cemeteries were often used in combination with different preservation methods, such as mummification. The mummification process involved treating the body with chemicals and wrapping it in fabric to prevent decay. The glass coffin provided an additional layer of protection, helping to maintain the body’s appearance and prevent it from decomposing. Maybe they found wood coffins problematic for some mausoleums? The people in the area believed it slowed decay. Maybe if a person was a priest, a local politician of importance - maybe that too is why they were encased in a glass-sided coffin.

Hard to say, but still, it remains to be seen. (sorry, couldn't resist that joke. But I'm a very morbid person anyway.) Jokes aside, that really IS a beautiful cemetery. Maybe it's because my father died when I was still a baby, but I've always had a fascination with graveyards and cemeteries. Especially those with "raised" headstones. I think it made those who raised me kinda worried, but it's not like I ever did anything evil, or even disrespectful..... I just feel peaceful in those places.

The idea of glass coffins l was told are from the film Snow White. It’s huge there be afraid in getting lost in there. Well done in sharing the video

From what I can find out, glass coffins started to pop up in 1859, and were a sales item by the 1920s. Earlier, in the 1850s, glass windows were used to detect breath condensation in case someone was buried alive. So it all long predates the popular Disney film of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was released in 1937. The original story of Snow White was written by the Brothers Grimm, December 20, 1812. In that story, she was placed in glass coffin. The idea of glass coffins have been for at least over 200 years. Glass coffins are rarely used today.

Interessanti tuoi video, complimenti Veramente la foto post mortem è difficile di trovare in Italia. Sei stato fortunato a trovare un sepolcro con la foto post mortem, fotografie comparse sempre nell' epoca vittoriana come la bara di vetro, brevettata nel 1899, è una delle bare di sicurezza (salvo i santificati, eroi, monaci, ecc) di epoca vittoriana quando è nata la paura di essere sepolto da vivo....nel caso in cui la persona non fosse morta, il vetro poteva essere rotto e faceva entrare dell’aria, nella speranza che qualcuno sentisse il baccano dal di fuori… poi c'è la bara di Fisk cosiddetto sarcofago ad atmosfera controllato ma in Europa non è stata nemmeno una rinvenuta

Bless you

Feel better soon!

When I visit the Graveyard. The date is priority # 1. Then I look at the name priority #2. Then I admire the artwork priority #3. Keep up the good work lots of symbolism in that artwork is very interesting.

Holy crap, they’re everywhere! Beautiful in its own way.

Some cemeteries in foreign cities seem quite familiar - Paris and Prague come to mind. But this Italian cemetery feels incredibly alien, like nothing you would find in the UK.

Я когда к сыну на кладбище приходила, помянуть, не хотела уходить, спакойно как то . Но птицы у нас только вароны

Unbelievable! I wonder if the interior “candles” are solar powered.

Das ist ja ein ganzes Dorf als Friedhof mit Häusern, hier in Deutschland gibt es zwar auch Mausoleum aber die meisten werden Erdbestattung machen. Oder neuerdings sehr viele Feuerbestattungen da geht hier der Trent zu hin. Auch sehr beliebt sind Wälder wo unter Bäumen bestattet wird.

Absolutely an amazing place. Fascinating 🙏⚰️🪦

Respectfully: Why a glass coffin? I'm very, very impressed by the cemetery! Beautiful and....very interesting! So no one is 'alone' there...(if this make sense)❤

People in Italy don’t visit graves in summertime visits start in September

The smell must be absolutely awful 😖 🤢. This was a very cool series 👍👍

Don’t think I’ve seen the lights before, and all those steps and turns. I have no sense of direction, I’d be lost in minutes. As for the smell, perhaps when they visit, they go home and say ‘I went to smell Grandma today’😬

Imagine getting lost there at night.

The monuments are stunning but it's got be the most claustrophobic place I've ever seen

Whilst this cemetery is a little overgrown and most likely overcrowded too it still radiates beauty

What is that beautiful choral music in the intro? Please, help! Great video! Unusual as for me to use a glass coffin for burial and especially on the surface.

The catacombs of Palermo in Italy have mummified bodies hanging up mostly monks and priests.Very weird.

Very interesting 🤔

someone needs to put lavender stems here and there in the smelliest areas to get rid of odors. There are enough places to tie bouquets of several stems here and there. The seeds of the plant would possibly germinate if they fell to the ground they might grow naturally.

Great👍👍👍

The cemetery that just keeps on giving

What beautiful coffin 😊

What a beautiful place

Put a little bit of vapo rub under your nose. It will help with the Smell. also it helped for those who're going to pass.

What a complex maze! Do the Italians prefer this to cemetery burials?

Maravilhso PARABÉNS👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹

That's quite amazing how people build all this just to honor the dead when the three dead don't give a crap.

Hope you find your way out!

I shouldn't have watched this. I'll have nightmares for a week. Creepy place.

You can taste death as well as smell it. Do you have Vicks Vapor Rub or a methol product to put under your nose. It helps get rid of lingering smell. My uncle was a ME (medical examiner, coroner). I have been seeing the dead in all manner of decomp since I was at least 5 years old. Not for the faint of heart. Breathing in that is not good for you my friend. Take Good Care!

I would not have the guts to go into this place..............I was wondering if you were doing this alone.............. not me for sure

The electric lights on the mausoleums are beautiful! I don’t know why that intrigues me so. The glass coffin was amazing but did look a bit like a “fish tank.” He blocks a bunch of other family members…..(I wouldn’t mind and I guess they don’t either 💀😂)

Definitely a "must see!"

Why anyone would put a dear deceased loved one on display in a glass coffin to publicly rot is way beyond me. I would be absolutely traumatized to see my loved one(s) in such a condition! Horrific and disgusting! 🤢🤮

Yes this stranger by the minute That mold smell would do me in no wonder your allergies are active

I wonder who thought that burying grandpa in an aquarium was a good idea….smh…

Why would anyone want their relatives buried in glass coffins and watch them decompose? There must be lots of Italian children scarred for life after being taken to see grandparents rotting in their grave.

What is the thought process that goes in when wanting a glass coffin? I wouldn't want to be viewed rotting in a moldy fish tank for all to see🤢🤮

Literally looks like a class coffin from inside a Church

Never a truer Dan-ism: ". . . like an old fish tank." -- LOL! 🤣😂
