The Incorruptible St. Zita Mummy (Lucca, Italy)

I visited Italy for the first time and the wonderful area of Tuscany and Pisa. Strangely enough, I did not see that leaning tower…however, I did come across something equally as interesting. That being the naturally mummified remains of St. Zita, who is one of the ‘incorruptibles’, a saint who is deemed so pure and good their body simply did not decay. She is over 700 years old and was even mentioned by Dante in his Divine Comedy.
