Description
Francesco Lentini (July 8, 1884 - September 22, 1966) was an Italian-American showman. He was born with a parasitic twin attached to his body at the base of his spine and consisted of a pelvis bone, a rudimentary set of male genitalia, a full-sized leg extending from the right side of Lentini's hip, with a small foot protruding from its knee. At the age of 8, his family moved to the US, where he entered the sideshow business as The Great Lentini. His career spanned over 40 years and he worked with every major circus and sideshow including Barnum and Bailey and Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. He married and sired four normal children. Edena Company, 1901.
