Corpi sacri - EURAC science cafe

What this episode covers

Oltre 2000 sono i corpi mummificati, imbalsamati e pietrificati sparsi in Italia. Di questi, la quasi totalità si trova in edifici di culto. Sono santi, beati e papi, da Padre Pio a Santa Zita, da Giovanni XXIII a papa Luciani. Sono prelati sconosciuti come i 26 sacerdoti della cripta di Piraino, nel messinese. Sono mummie medievali, ma anche molto più recenti. Resti senza vita ai quali si vuole garantire, almeno simbolicamente, l’immortalità. Oggetti di culto o comunque segnali di una potenza superiore. Come e perché si mummifica? Cosa dice la teologia cattolica? Quanto è miracolo, quanta suggestione e quanta scienza? se ne parla con Luigi Garlaschelli Chimico – Università di Pavia/CICAP (Comitato Italiano per il Controllo delle Affermazioni sul Paranormale) Calogero Peri Teologo, vescovo di Caltagirone Dario Piombino-Mascali Antropologo – EURAC modera Paolo Mazzucato Conduttore radiofonico – RAI – Bolzano
