Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte

Post by Anizio »

in 1767 my ancestor Giovanni Previtali died and arranged to have his body burried at Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte.

Would that mean that his skull might be on display in the crypt with his name and the date of his death right on it? I see pictures online that show skulls in the crypt like this.
(if you search for Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte on google images you will see them)
TIP: When asking for records from Italy, do NOT ask for an "estratto." ALWAYS ask for a "copia integrale." A photocopy of the original Act will contain more information
