The Togni Family--Does anyone know where and when this event took place?

Wade this is Flavio, Christina and Daniele Togni on the Circo Americano under a tent I think. As they produce the almost the same show every winter it's difficult to find out where and when this picture was taken.

Vincent,
Thank you. Three rings in Europe!!! I am very impressed. The name Circus America seems most appropriate.

Wade, they use the name Circo Americano when they are in Italy and American Circus in other countries. It's no more a real 3 rings show. I think they use them only for the liberty horses and maybe an other display but most of the time it's a big oval suface (like The New Cole Bros.).

Is that correct that Carson & Barnes will go next year on the road with a one ring show instead of 3 ??! Seems to be the end of the big 3 rings US shows!

Vincent,
Carson and Barnes have gone to two rings a couple of times in the past. I hope they do go to one ring, as they may find out how much easier it is to make a buck and get it over the road with only the one ring. They will also find that it will give the illusion of grandness in the smaller one ring format. 5 pounds of garbage looks like a lot in a 1 pound bag.
