at a significant time when the diplomatic
relations were established between Italy and the DPRK.
There are at least 150 circuses, large and small, in Italy with a long
circus history but none of them has been
awarded the highest prize, and circuses of many countries have come but the
prize has never been awarded to
circuses of other countries, he said.
He expressed his gratitude to Kim Jong Il, the great leader of Korea,
for sending such excellent acrobatics to
Italy.
Padric Tonadegui, director of the art department of the organizing

skill as the DPRK did, he said.
