The Sacro Cuore del Suffragio church in Rome is a neo-Gothic building (called the "small cathedral in Milan"), which was built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The author of her project was the engineer Giuseppe Gualandi. It is famous for the Museum of Purgatory Souls.
The museum was founded on the initiative of priest Victor Jouet. The collection was dedicated to souls who, according to the clergyman, did not feel peace after death and were sent to purgatory. The first church that stood in this place was destroyed in a fire. Father Jouet saw a human face on a wall covered with soot.
Museum exhibits include: an antique prayer book with a trace of a human hand reflected on one of the sides, which survived the fire, a fragment of the countertop, also with a trace of a hand, and a cover partially digested by fire, whose owner was a nun. Museum visitors can read the events and information about wandering souls thoroughly.
