#repost @thegrandgypsy “Dear Canestrellis- Americans are still raving over your magnificent performance on our show!! I’m still opening letters and answering our Canadian and U.S. audience that you definitely will be back with us, next season. Perhaps we’ll see you when we are in England, Italy or Spain - or Cannes. Bob Precht joins me in warmest best wishes. Sincerely, Ed” Honoring the great Federico “Freddy”Canestrelli born April 20, 1925 in Crotone Italy. He created the greatest trampoline the world had ever seen. Also was a very accomplished juggler and rola Bola artist with his legendary wife, Ortans (Cristiani) Canestrelli. #CircusLegend #EdSullivanShow #CircusHistory #Canestrelli #Trampoline #Circus #Circo #Cirque (at Ed Sullivan Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcnpxMrMdlt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
