These girls in Assisi seem to be oblivious to the gruesome carnivorous activity going on beside them.
The old woman in the background twice approached me for spare change -- perhaps all tourists look alike to her -- my Italian was pretty bad but I think it had something to do with helping her son, who by my reckoning must have been in his thirties, certainly old enough to do his own begging.

It's certainly a strange subject for a statue, but cleverly carved. The girls almost look as if they're waiting to be the next snack ;)
What an absolutely extraordinary statue!
I suppose the person (child?) is being eaten rather than proving their confidence in the monster - head in, head out?
