The soundness of the approach of the Piccola Scuola di Circo among the first Italian realities to have proposed the teaching of the arts of the circus track in a project of artistic creation and multi-year technical training, makes original and innovative its training proposal, with a creative path that starts from the study and practice of circus disciplines, to result in artistic expression.
