The BBC reports:
They were discovered on Monday by a cleaner who called police after ringing the doorbell and receiving no reply.
The police entered the building and called out if anyone was there and the nuns replied: “Yes, we are here, in the elevator,” according to Il Messaggero.
The sisters were suffering from dehydration and were transported to a hospital, but are expected to make a full recovery.
