Rome, Apr 27 (EFE).- In a week that sees theaters, cinemas and other performances finally allowed to reopen in Italy after long months because of the coronavirus pandemic, the historic Lidia Togni Circus has been left hanging in the balance, uncertain of whether it will be able to welcome audiences.
For the past 15 months since the pandemic took hold, the entire circus has been camped out in a field next to one of the highways leaving Rome. Its 43 workers and 30 animals have only been able to survive thanks to the help of strangers and associations.
