We call this a risley act but that word doesn't appear in the program's bio.

Anonymous said...: In Europe we don't usew the word risley(except of course Great Britains).
The Germans calls it ikarische spielen, in France icariens, and in Italy icariani.
And just by risley coincidence, I got yesterday (after years) a call from the old Aurelio Bogino, from the Bogino risley act in the 50s.
He is retired in northern Italy and very well.; 08 August, 2006 05:30

24-HOUR-MAN said...: Two questions for Rafaele de Ritis I seem to remember Auralio was the oldest, and I know Eginio is gone, what about Benny.
Next, what ever happened to Circus Cita de Roma, we worked for them in Naples when we were on vacation from Krone, a very bed experience, we never did get all the money, and then they wanted us to come back the next year.; 08 August, 2006 21:43

I don't know about Benny, but I remember well Iginio. Aurelio's wife too passed away few years ago.
Your second question: I just crossed Città di Roma last Friday on a beach in the Adriatic riviera, but I didn'nt stopped. They have a lot of trucks and stables with exotics in full sight (but not okapi, seems)I know that the family split in the last few weeks. I heard before about the reputation.; 09 August, 2006 14:43
