Comments / pictures

Lidia Togni (b.1931), married Riccardo Canestrelli. They formed in the 1970s the three-ring Circo Royal, which closed after just a few years. Her sons, Vinicio Togni and Davide Togni, worked as animal trainers with Firmin Bougliones Cirque Amar, in France, and eventually created, in the 1980s, their own Circo Lidia Togni, which stands today as one of Europes largest circuses.
