Cavegna Family from Italy. Cousins to Mafalda Zamperla.

Actually it's Caveagna. Pictured here are the father, Artidoro, and one of the sons, Jones. The other son is Steve.
There is also a daughter (Jessica) who is the principal assistant in her partner's illusion act, as well as presenting her own sword-and-dagger number. Jessica nd Kim are definitely friends of mine. They will be with Benneweis in Kim's native Denmark this year.

To get the complete repertoire of the Trio Caveagna, search for "Caveagna" on youtube where the have posted several clips from their European engagements.

Thanks for the spelling correction, John.

Steve Cavegna was among the recent Gold Show visitors to Showfolks.

I had the pleasure of introducing Jackie LeClaire "Clown Prince of the American Circus" to Artidoro Caveagna after the show. They exchanged pleasantries and spoke (in Spanish) about Ringling in Europe when Jackie was there.

I learned that Jackie's father was on Ringling in 1917; before they combined with B&B.
