Does anybody have a better translation of what happened on Circus Moria Orfi

Tragedy touched Orfei circus
Tigre bite the son of Moira

The animal flies on me man
and wounds him. Panic among the spectators

Andrea Rossi

Turin

Who was there said that the tiger has moved in the dark es'รจ hurled against that black cloak behind which it concealed its tamer. Who was there said that before the lights illuminate the marquee has felt only a piercing scream. Then the spectators have seen a tiger bite left shoulder Stefano Nones, 43, son of Moira Orfei and Walter Nones.

Blood, screams and a lot of fear among employees of the Circus Orfei and spectators who crowded the tent to Pellerin. I am just after eleven o'clock, the beginning of the second part of the show in city from November 20. Spectators fall under the tent after being out of range to admire the animals. Everything inside is ready for the attraction of the evening, which gives the title to the whole show. "A tiger for love."

A novel which mixes traditional shows and weft of love. A prince (Stefano Nones) and a girl (the beautiful Brigitta Boccoli, wife of Nones), divided by the fearsome pitfalls of a tiger. Curtain falls on the darkness, a ray of light frames a narrow cage inside which moves slow a white tiger. Then check a black cloak: Wrap Nones. Bushing is not on stage, his turn will come soon. Almost instantly, the tiger flies to humans and bite him. Tore his left shoulder, but it also hurts ribs.

The lights flare up suddenly. Panic among the spectators, seated behind a grate a little over three meters high. Brigitta Boccoli rushes from behind the scenes, screams, weeps. Some employees come to the aid Nones, drag him into the back and waited for the ambulance that takes him to the emergency room at the Maria Vittoria. Comes with a code yellow, but is not in danger. Even the limb should not be at risk. Under the big one speaker reassures viewers: "Things that happen here are not on television, is all true, and some inconvenience sometimes happens." The show will continue from the next number es'avvia towards the end. Nones remains in hospital, where he receives all necessary care.

Is not the first time three years ago in Scalea, near Cosenza, was assaulted by her tigers and nearly one leg. An attendant, Davinder Sngh, Indian 24 year old was seriously wounded and died 18 days in hospital.
