Ottavio Canestrelli crossed paths with each. He performed with the Krone Circus in Italy and Germany from 1922 to 1924 on the eve of Hitler's rise to power; he witnessed a rally for Mahatma Gandhi in India in 1931; and he appeared twice on the Ed Sullivan Show during the 1960s. In The Grand Gypsy, Canestrelli, with his grandson, Ottavio Gesmundo, tells the story of a man who witnessed historical events as he toured with his family through five continents and countless nations, including experiences fighting in World War I and the excavation of the Sphinx in Egypt. It shares memories of life in the circus, filled with daring feats and tragic mishaps. With over one hundred and seventy historical photographs included, this memoir chronicles a circus dynasty from the late nineteenth-century in Europe to the new millennium in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ottavio Gesmundo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1483448940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781483448947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu Publishing Services\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Ottavio Gesmundo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935756353791,"sku":"9781483448947","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a5ac0f61-7bd0-4b90-8ed6-3a92e135f163.jpg?v=1681421642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-grand-gypsy-ottavio-gesmundo-9781483448947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
