Cecco

A hungry man who helps Romola to succour Baldassarre whe she finds the latter starving. "Cecco was a wild-looking figure; a very ragged tunic, made shaggy and variegated by cloth-dust and clinging fragments of wool, gave relief to a pair of bare bony arms and a long sinewy neck; his square jaw shaded by a bristly black beard, his bridgeless nose and low forehead, made his face look as if it had been crushed down for purposes of packing."
