Do You Know?!! : Sicilian Sleeping Beauty

She's one of the world's best-preserved bodies: Rosalia Lombardo, a two-year-old Sicilian girl who died of pneumonia in 1920. "Sleeping Beauty," as she's known, appears to be merely dozing beneath the glass front of her coffin in the Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, Italy.
                          

  Rosalia Lombardo, who died of the flu at age 2, and was one of the last people to be interred in the catacombs in the 1920s. Rosalia's father, General Lombardo, was sorely grieved upon her death, so he approached Alfredo Salafia, a noted embalmer, to preserve her.Unlike the other dead, her body is remarkably well preserved. So much so, that she merely appears to be sleeping in a crib. Due to t he color in her face, pretty features and sweat on her brow, she has been bestowed the name, "Sleeping Beauty." Her unparalleled preservation is due to an embalming procedure that was lost for decades, but rediscovered in recent years
