Lacking the certainty of history, as documents are lacking, we resorted to fantasy. It was meant that during the years of the Terror in France, some Capuchins, in order not to renounce their faith and save their heads from the guillotine, took refuge in Rome. There is more than one hypothesis: that it is the work of a “grotesque eremitical genius“ or “the patience of a friar“ or, again, the work of a man of “ardent faith who almost jokes with death“ thinking about the Resurrection. Marquis De Sade writes that “a German priest from this house executed a funeral monument worthy of an English genius.“ In this place, consisting of a corridor about thirty meters long, currently flanked by six rooms, the mortal remains of about 3,700 deceased, mostly Capuchin friars, were collected. Tradition has it that the land of this cemetery is holy land brought here from Palestine or even from Jerusalem.
