"Scugnizzo" is a painting by Italian artist Arturo Petrocelli, created in the early 20th century. The term "scugnizzo" refers to a street urchin or a mischievous boy, commonly associated with the city of Naples, where Petrocelli was active. The painting captures the essence of the Neapolitan street life, depicting a young boy who embodies the spirit of the city's lower-class urban culture. The subject is often portrayed with a mix of innocence and street-smart cunning, reflecting the harsh realities and the vibrant life of the streets where such children would have grown up.

Arturo Petrocelli (1869–1925) was known for his genre scenes, portraits, and historical paintings. His work often explored the social conditions and everyday life of Naples and its inhabitants. "Scugnizzo" is considered one of Petrocelli's significant works, as it not only showcases his artistic skill but also provides a cultural and sociological insight into the period's Neapolitan society.

The painting is characterized by its vivid realism and attention to detail, with the young boy often depicted in a candid pose that suggests movement and spontaneity. The use of light and shadow, as well as the expressive facial features of the scugnizzo, contribute to the painting's emotional impact. Through his art, Petrocelli managed to capture the unique character of the Neapolitan people, making "Scugnizzo" an important piece of Italian cultural heritage.

As a work of art, "Scugnizzo" has been appreciated for its aesthetic qualities as well as its anthropological value. It is a poignant example of the verismo (realism) movement in Italian art, which sought to depict the truth of everyday life without idealization. The painting is often highlighted in discussions of Petrocelli's oeuvre and is considered a valuable document of the social dynamics and urban environment of Naples in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
