Title

Italy: Zaira, Rodolfo e Guglielmo

Description

Zaira (in the center) marries a «fermo» (an immobile), Giuseppe Visentin (in the center), and becomes the reference point for the family. Giuseppe Visentin was a shop owner who falls in love when he sees her performing in the circus. It is not easy for her to stop travelling and living the circus life, and she sometimes is melancholic. She leaves this writing before her death: "I look for far away memories and sometimes I feel I am again the girl of the circus, the young trapeze artist, admired by the audience.”
