It almost looks like this mattress caught its tormentor and held him down while the mattress burned. You can see the head at the top of the picture, the legs at the bottom, and one arm sticking out from under the mattress on the left. Isn't revenge sweet???

I saw this mattress burning in Pompei, while the Vesuvius erupted. How did it move to Terzigno?
