Common card · No. 279396

Giacomo and Giovanni Battista Tocci (4 October 1877 – 13 December 1894) were conjoined twins born in Locana, Italy, notable as being of the dicephalic parapagus tetrabrachius subtype, thus having one merged trunk, four arms, and two heads. The Toccis toured in a circus with details of their later life erroneously reported well after their death in 1894.
