Not for the faint of heart, the 'mummies' kept in the Museo delle Mummie directly under the central church of Santo Stefano are accessible to the public all year round. Brought here by order of Napoleon, these are the bodies of past inhabitants of Ferentillo that have remained startlingly intact thanks to a particular chemical composition of the soil in which they were originally buried. Some of the bodies still display details such as the hairs of the person's beard or the wounds that provoked death centuries ago.
