Biography details

Leonida Casartelli , circus director in Italy

Born 1924 dead 1978 , son of director Umberto Casartelli and director Rosina Casartelli .


Umberto Casartellis wife, the courageous and strong-willed Rosina Casartelli, née Gerardi (1898-1974), went back on the road with her son Leonida Casartelli (1924-1978) and her daughters Jonne Casartelli (1919-1999), Liliana Casartelli (1921-2004), and Lucina Casartelli (1931- 2003). By the end of the war, Rosina Casartelli’s sons and nephews had already produced dozens of new family members, and her son Leonida took over the reins of the ever-growing family circus.

Artist and future circus impresario Leonida Casartelli, married Wally Togni, daughter of Ugo Togni, generating another important dynasty.

Leonida Casartelli died in 1978 in a car accident. The management of Circo Medrano was taken over by one of his nephews, Ugo De Rocchi, who expanded Medrano’s foreign tours, and emphasized the "grandeur" of the circus.
