Pig Man's real name was Roland Trucchi. The children who studied in the Convento di Ossucio gave him that name, they said, because he was the man who would slaughter the pigs and sheep that were brought down from the Refugio near Croce. In actual fact, the name was rather cruelly derived from Roland Trucchi's appearance, and as it seemed rather fitting, the parents of the children also began to refer to him as Pig Man, although never to his face.
