Sudden mourning in Italy: he held a beautiful record

A mourning that leaves a bitter taste to many of his admirers, as well as to his relatives: he had a good track record in Italy

He was born into a circus family and followed the path of the stuntman, surely at least once we saw him with his shows or simply on television. After a long career, he passed away at the age of 76.

At the age of 76, Holer Togni has died, a popular stuntman who enchanted thousands of Italians with his stunts. A long story that begins from his birth in a circus family, so much so that after his death in his home in Milan, Holer was honored by many circus associations and remembered for his art that enchanted thousands of Italians over the years.

Many have added to the sadness of the loss of a character who marked the history of the art of circus and stuntman, also reaping great satisfactions, including the entry of the Guinness World Record. Holer Togni holds the record for having driven a tilted truck on three wheels in 1995. In one of his shows he even involved the elegant and never broken Gianni Agnelli who, in an evolution aboard a Fiat 131 , convinced the entrepreneur to become a sponsor of his shows.

Holer Togni is the promoter, in 1971, of the traveling show Stunt Cars which many will surely have seen the posters around their city seen and considered that it toured all of Italy and part of Europe, enchanting adults and children. A life full of risk and adrenaline involving all spectators in the biggest arenas in Europe, including the Hippodrome of Monza. During his career, Holer never revealed the tricks of the trade and not because he was jealous, but because he always had the fear that his example and his secrets would end up in smoking hands: his work was always high risk and never wanted to feel responsible for any imitation.

A whole life devoted to stunts, risk, adrenaline and passion for cars in the role of the stuntman that almost no one will forget.
