Circus attendance in Italy: the case of Acquatico Bellucci

Alessio Del Sarto and Roberto Zanola

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Although the cultural importance of circus, the economics of culture has neglected to address this topic. Two main reasons for this: first, cultural economics has (wrongly) considered circus as a minor performing arts; secondly, the difficulty to collect quantitative information on circus. This paper represents an attempt to fill this lack by analysing the characteristics of circus attendance. In particular, we submit 268 questionnaires to people attending Acquatico Bellucci. Descriptive statistics are discussed in the paper.
