This sketch shows two huge, scary figures stomping through a crowd. They look like giants with big hats and wild hair. The people below are tiny, running away or hiding. Their names are written at the bottom: *Pasquariello Truonno* and *Meo Squaquara*. These might be characters from a story or festival. Want to know more?
