Hi Ged, thanks for my latest order from you. Love the mounted leaders. Nicely detailed and look forward to seeing them dismounted in some distant future.

Will start painting very soon.

Cheers,

Helen

Sorry to be the usual pedantic and fussy spoilsport, but before the misspelling catches on, please allow me to correct you:

the correct word is picciotto, with an i. It means little one, it's a sicilianization (?) of piccolo (little, small), which in Sicilian becomes piccio or picciotto

Check this out, it is also commonly used for the mafiosi:

Traveller....................you will eventually be able to use my New
Piccotti figures when they come on line (being sculpted at present)
as they would fit with this period........I may well d some Piedmontese
elite units as well...
 :D
cheers

here is one, they are supposed to be the ones in the background

and here are some more

Basically if you want to have a bunch of irregulars I would mix Southern Italian costumes with a sprinkle of uniforms. The phrygian cap seems to have been ubiquitous!

Finally, I also find this reenactment, which is interesting at first until it degenerates...
