Sleeping Beauty



Rosalina 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. She has been preserved there since the last 90 years in a small wooden and glass topped coffin.
