Beg

There are many beggars in Torino, everyone has his own 'style' of getting attention, most common is having a pet with them, such a dog or even paired up dog with cat and rabbit, others just put up a written cardboard stating their situation.....with action such as kneeling or bending down in the middle of the streets. It is sad to see people beg, but at the same time, often wonder if some of them are really 'genuine'....

We do have many beggars from Romania here in Haninge. But they don't have any pets with them.
