1874In 4° (24,5×17 cm); foglio volante. Esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Il foglio riporta le attrazioni che avrebbero accolto il pubblico al teatro Brunetti di Bologna il 29 dicembre del 1874. “Detta lotta verrà presenziata da un Giurì. Il Bortoletti avverte che dal canto suo non sortirà dal Teatro se non vincitore o vinto e nel caso che uno dei lottatori si rifiutasse per stanchezza od altro alla continuazione della Lotta, verrà considerato perditore”. Lo spettacolo fu una delle prime rappresentazioni in Italia di quella disciplina che aveva iniziato a prender piedi in vari spettacoli circensi itineranti americani, proprio in quegli anni, il Wrestling. Oltre allo spettacolo di lotta saranno rappresentati una “Graziosissima Pantomiama giocata dalle due Maschere di Arlecchino e Pierrot. Farà seguito a questa una quantità di Giuochi di Ginnastica e Danze. Chiuderà il trattenimento colla storica e spettacolosa pantomima “L’assassinio della Famiglia Kinck”. Rarità.
