 Conjoined twins in history
Giovanni and Giacomo Tocci, from Locana, Italy, were immortalized in Mark Twain's short story "Those Extraordinary Twins" as fictitious twins Angelo and Luigi. The Toccis, born in 1877, were dicephalus tetrabrachius twins, having one body with two legs, two heads, and four arms.

Is that pole a little farther away from them than it appears in this picture? So are they supposed to go around it? I'm trying to understand it's presence in the scene lol. Great action capture!

Love the contrast in expressions. It's almost as though there are two photos in one.
