One of the best-preserved mummies in the world isn’t from Egypt or Peru but comes from Italy about 90 years ago.

Rosalia Lombardo was a 2-year-old Italian girl who died of pneumonia. Her father, official Mario Lombardo, grieved her death and he went to a noted embalmer, Alfredo Salafia, in an attempt to preserve her, according to researchers.
