Raffaele,
What relationship to Moria Orfei?
Wade

Raffaele De Ritis said...

Paride is the son of Nando Orfei, who directed Nando Orfei circus, a very big one in the 80s and 90s.
Nando was very famous as tiger presenter, and with liberty.
Moira is Nando's cousin.
There are a dozen of Orfei circuses in Italy (most of them buying the name from family members), but Moira Orfei is by far the most prestigious one.

Raffaele,
Thank you. That apparently is some of the great pedigree that has done wonders for the world of the circus. As I mentioned on Show Biz Daves blog to a circus"geneticist", if anybody really looked close at the "townies" who achieved greatness in this industry, I think they would be shocked into a rude awaking, and possibly encourage a few more of those "walk ins" before it is too late.
Was Moria not an Italian actress back in the day and a stunning one at that?
Regards,
Wade
