Peruse the revealing captions each treasured photo lists.The Zacchini and Loyal Repensky families were internationally revered during the Golden Age of the circus arts — 1920s and 40s. Olympia and her cousins — raised by their respective parents as brothers and sisters — grew up in the tall shadow of renowned fame. They saw first-hand what their parents faced daily to be the best and stay the best. Such as…Uncle Emanuel, shot from a tank-like truck's cannon to soar above and beyond three, side by side, 90-feet tall majestic Ferris Wheels to land in a net a staggering 225-feet away. It's a feat no one has ever done before or since. The photograph documenting it is in the book.Or as…Uncle Giustino stands balanced atop a galloping Percheron horse, leading three more horses in a line. At a critically precise moment of during horse's pounding gallop, Giustino springs into a backward somersault and lands on the last horse's rump to stand. He traveled through the air some 30-feet! A feat no one has ever done before or since. The photograph documenting it is in the book.And…So much more in Olympia' book. It's for circus lovers, history devotees, and everyone who revels in learning more about this unique time and special culture. The Loyal Repenskys, The Zacchini Brothers is 123 pages of circus history beautifully captured on glossy 80-pound paper.
