Title of this image:
Beating and drowning in the tank
Driven out from the shed of the old farmhouse, camouflaged among the hanging sausages, the Covid is dragged and thrown into the tank used for the degreasing and flaying of slaughtered poultry and pigs. While he struggles, Maurizio and Nazareno drown him throwing a flurry of punches with the help of the women intent on guarding to avoid his escape. The goal is to cause him death by drowning, cursing: che pozzi muri sfiatatu!*
*In the Marche dialect: “may you die without breath!”
