The Ringlings loved Italy. The Italian historic Asolo Theater, an 18th-century structure, was disassembled during The Great Depression and shipped to the Ringlings, who reassembled it where it stands today on the Ringling Museum grounds.

John Ringling Mansion and Art Museum
The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art is a tribute to a legendary circus magnate and his wife. Ringling Brothers Circus was a mainstay of entertainment in the first half of the 20th century, joining with Barnum and Bailey Circus thereafter to continue the circus tradition.
Once held in gigantic tents, the stakes of which were placed into position by elephants, these circuses switched to sports arenas and stadiums in large part by 1950.

These circuses and others like them gave the inspiration to Ray Bradbury as a boy to later create such unforgettable stories and novels such as Dark Circus, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Combining his inspiration from the circus, early horror movies, and science fiction, Mr. Bradbury wrote these stories and they have remained unmatched to this day.
John Ringling did not realize that this could happen from his three magic rings of entertainment in the center of a canvas tent on a hot August afternoon.

On Sarasota Bay, the Ringling Art Museum is the state art museum of Florida. The mansion was restored in AD 2002 and includes Circus Museums, a huge library, a learning center, acres of gardens, parks, and the World's Largest Miniature Circus.
You can see the old circus wagons that used to come to town surrounded by running, laughing children that would pick up some work around the circus in order to gain free tickets and make friends with the elephants and the clowns. A large rose garden completes a lovely, fascinating location.
Circus Sarasota carries on the Ringling tradition of good entertainment at affordable prices, plus programs for artists and education, including guest performers from China and other countries. Link: [ CIRCUS SARASOTA]
