The world of carnies mourns two young lives cut short in an instant, and clings to each other Busnelli and Rossi families, known for traveling amusement parks. Thursday on Northern ring road at 6 in the morning while going to work they died in a serious accident Brad Rossiaged 27, and Richard Busnelliaged 29, while two other boys, aged 20 and 18, are hospitalized in serious conditions in the San Carlo and Niguarda hospitals in Milan.
The four young people – members of a well-known family of carnies operating throughout Lombardy with their own amusement park facilities – they were all cousins and worked together in the world of rides and bumper cars. It would appear that the group of boys were on their way to Bareggio where there is a Busnelli family autopista.
North ring road accident: the car overturned
“We are speechless – says Rosa, cousin of one of the victims, Richard Busnelli –. We carnies are all linked, we are one big family even if we don’t see each other often because we are always at work. I remember Richard and Brad since they were kids, always cheerful and full of good will and commitment. We start working with the rides early. The two of them were hard workers. We learned that one of the injured boys, Richard’s brother, was not seriously injured. Let’s hope at least they manage.”
What happened will be determined by them Polstrada investigations, and help could come from the autopsy examination. “Now it’s time to mourn two young carnies,” concludes Rosa.
Numerous messages of condolence, including that of the national circus body: “Brad Rossi and Richard Busnelli, two boys from the people on the trip, did not survive an accident that occurred in the Milan area, on the A52 between Pero and Cerchiate.

On behalf of the National Circus Board, we are close to familiessharing in their pain”, are the words of president Antonio Buccioni.
