The Greatest Show on Earth - Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will close in May after 146 years! This photo of the 1932 company shows my grandfather, Ottavio Canestrelli, dressed in a black tuxedo on the left. Other circus greats are also present like Bombayo, who was part of the family troupe, standing next to my grandfather, and trapeze artist, Alfredo Codona. The end of an era indeed. #circus #circushistory #ringlingbrothers #circo #cirque #TheGrandGypsy #ringlingbroscircus www.thegrandgypsy.com (at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College)

After 146 years, The Greatest Show on Earth will hold it last performance tonight in NY. To all the performers, workers, and support staff, have a great final show! Although, I don't believe we have heard the last of this American institution. @ringlingbros #BringTheCircusBack #RinglingBrosCircus #TheGreatestShowOnEarth #Circus #Circo #Cirque #TheGrandGypsy (at Uniondale, New York)
