Tullio Vietri made a wax pastel on paper for The accidiosi (from Dante Alighieri’s XVIII Canto of Purgatory, terzine 33): «… correndo si movea tutta quella turba magna; e due dinnanzi gridavan piangendo.» («full soon they were upon us, because running moved onward all that mighty multitude, and two in the advance cried out, lamenting») a sorrowful but sublimated interpretation of guilt.
