Circus Roncalli is a German professional circus founded in 1976 by Bernhard Paul [de] and André Heller. According to Paul, the name was suggested by fellow Austrian Peter Hajek [de] and his film script Sarah Roncalli, Tochter des Mondes [Sarah Roncalli, Daughter of the Moon], named after Pope John XXIII[1][2] whose civil name was Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli. Paul and Heller agreed because of its pleasant sound and the pope's reform agenda.[2]
