Sand and Canvas: Narrative of adventures in Egypt with a sojourn among the artists in Rome

by Samuel Bevan

FOOTNOTES:

[35] The Italian terminations,—accio and uccio are particularly expressive, one letter establishing a very wide difference in their signification. Bambino for example, means a little boy; Bambinaccio, with a powerful emphasis on the a, means a naughty, dirty little raggamuffin; whereas Bambinuccio is a sweet little duck of a boy!
