Fratellini family

An engagement at the Circus Medrano in Paris, France, after World War I was so successful that it sparked a strong resurgence of interest in the circus.

By 1923, the Fratellini brothers had become the darlings of the Parisian intellectuals.

They were lauded in print and fans would show up at the circus just in time for the Fratellini entree, which sometimes ran as long as forty-five minutes.

The Fratellini's success has been attributed to many factors, but above all they succeeded because of their talent and experience.

Gustavo Fratellini took part in the unification of Italy.
