Short Biography
Alfredo Codona (October 7, 1893 – July 30, 1937) was an Italian American trapeze artist who was a member of the world famous "Flying Codonas" and was the first aerialist to continually perform the triple somersault. Alfredo came from an itinerant performing family who emigrated from Italy in the 1790s to the UK, where Alfredo's grandfather Henry (Enrico) Codona was born. The original Codoni or Cardoni family name evolved in the early to mid 1800s into the name Codona, which is widely recognised in punch and judy, circus and of fairground folklore - Codona is practically a household name in the entertainment business in Scotland where the family owns a large static fairground site in Aberdeen and other members of the family travel around the country with portable amusement rides.
