Grupa italijanskih antropologa nada se da će pronaći posthumne ostatke čuvenog slikara kako bi utvrdila tačan razlog njegove smrti. Do sada se verovalo da je Karavađo umro na plaži, usled malarije, mada postoje i pretpostavke o njegovom ubistvu. Novootkriveni dokumenti pružaju nadu da je Karavađo sahranjen na poznatoj lokaciji.
Citat:However, in 2001 an Italian researcher claimed to have found the painter's death certificate, which allegedly proved that he died in hospital. "This historical document shows Caravaggio did not die alone on the beach but after three days in hospital, which means the body must have been buried in the San Sebastiano cemetery," said Vinceti, referring to a Tuscan town near the city of Grosseto.
