Agostino Giuntoli

Agostino "Bimbo" Giuntoli (September 22, 1903 – July 25, 1992) was an Italian-born American nightclub owner and entrepreneur.

[1] He worked as a janitor at the Palace Hotel and then as a cook nearby, where Monk Young, his boss, was unable to pronounce his name, and called him bimbo instead (Italian for "boy"), and the nickname stuck.

Musical artists and dancers showcased their work, including a young Rita Hayworth dancing in the chorus line.

An optical illusion achieved by mirrors made the large fish tank above the bar appear to have a nude woman swimming in it.

[2] As of 2014, the club is still there, owned and run by his grandson, Michael Cerchiai, who celebrated his eight birthday there with a Batman-themed cake, while Smokey Robinson played live.
