I'm pretty sure that the Italian

restaurant on Tuttle in front of

Tosca's trailer park between

Fruitville & Ringling was owned

by the Canestrelli family

We had the Canestrelli boys doing

tumbling & leaps on Ringling in

the 70s & 1 of them dressed as

Superman "flying" over elephants

to the Superman film theme music

Only mid 2nd year did the show

get caught & paid a penalty for

using that music without license

Perhaps Eric may recall that

This must be Freddy & his kids

Pietro & his family also had a

great family acrobatic troupe

& worked several seasons at the

"Old Country" theme park operated

by Busch Gardens in Williamsburg

Aurelia Nock was a Canestrelli

Thanks Jimmy as I didn't get it

right although I have known all

of them just not when they looked

as young as this image of them

Pietro & I have worked together

on a few theatrical projects
