Description:

Two men standing in a street stare down at a naked dead body released from a fallen coffin as a boy comes running toward them and a hearse can be seen in the distance, standing out against the silhouette of the Colosseum.

The caption reads in the original Italian: — Buon-Dio ! Questo che cos’è — Un cadavere.
