Whiteface Francesco Caroli along with Augustes Zippo (Bernhard Paul) and Angelo (Angelo Munoz) perform the Busy Bee (also known as "The Honeybee") entree at Circus Roncalli, taken from a German television special.
Gianny "Fumagalli" Huesca learned the routine from these three, so it's probably a pretty good indicator of how he'll present it if he does it on the Big Apple Circus here next season.

Just so you know, GIANNI Huesca (Fumagalli) takes the role played by Angelo Munoz in this clip. (Basically it's Angelo's routine.) The role played by Herr Paul (I call him that because he's the boss of Roncalli) is now taken by Darix Huesca, Fumagalli's brother.
The third role is now played by whoever happens to be available and suitable. I've seen it played by 2 of Francesco Caroli's great nephew's, Alberto and Enrico Caroli both being grandsons of Francesco's brother Enrico.
You may recall a clip of Trio Munoz doing a bon-bon making routine at Monte Carlo. Enrico Jr. was involved in that. It turns out that the white-face in that clip (Orlando Ariaz) had been ringmaster on Knie in Switzerland, which explains how he came to be involved. I have yet to discover what happened to him after the retirement of Angelo Munoz.
John.
