Cristianis

A Smith called Pete spends a few minutes trying to get members of the famous Cristiani family and a horse in the same frame without success. They offer to play music, and the grandfather does a backflip. When they finally comply, however, they really show their stuff, with backflips through hoops on racing horses, in slow motion, too.,

The Cristiani family started out in Italy in the 19th Century. They first came to America in 1934, brought by famous circus magnate John RIngling North. They had their own circus from 1949 through the 1960s.

It's quite a bunch of acrobats on display, except for the baby.
