Christmastime in Italy is also Circus time (ok, here everyday is Circus time -
but that's another story). I have never been a fan of traditional circus animal acts,
but how could I escape the charm of their colorful and quirky transfiguration into
a rainbow of shapes, silhouettes and symmetries by imaginative artists across the land?
