The Cathedral of Santa Maria della-Conduction was erected between 1626 and 1631, by decree of Pope Urban VIII. The inner interior of this little church is highlighted by its bare walls and restrained decoration, which contrasts with most temples in Rome and their showing ornaments.

After the church was completed in 1631, Cardinal Antonio Marchello Barberini, who was a member of the Kapuchinov Monks, ordered the remains of the members of his Order from the cemetery in the crypt church.

Bones are placed on the walls in a special way, creating various motifs and drawings on religious themes. The crypt is divided into six large chapels, decorated with bones of 4,000 Kapuchin monks, who died between 1528 and 1870.

Without any desecration, according to monks, such a decoration from the bones should remind alive that the body is only – "the vessel for the soul", and someday it will die, so you only need to take care of the conservation and soul, and body.
