Her parents were Riccardo Orfei - the clown Bigolon - and Violetta Arata - a Circus star, so Miranda Orfei's entire life was lived in a circus. A simple, yet charismatic girl, full of energy, she started working in one herself: horse rider, trapeze artist, and acrobat. Since 1962, she started her own circus, and her popularity remains unabated to the present date , in part helped by her numerous appearances on television shows. After a car accident prevented her from further acrobacies and arena shows with pigeos, horses and elephants, she kept her presence with her faithful public.
