They came over for Ringling in '48, and were highly featured in the DeMille picture. I knew Cucciolo on Howard Suesz, in '75, where he did comedy trampoline and doubled as show electrician. Formally, he was Francesco Pasquale Rizzi. He died in Sarasota, on February 2, 1984. The notices I have from Circus Report did not give his age.
