From Home Builder to Circus Prop Maker in Venice
Leigh Vercheski, taking over G & G Metals after his father’s death, runs a Venice firm that builds circus props for Ringling, Zerbini, and other shows. The shop crafts portable fun houses, tent poles, ring curbs, cranes, and a space module for a trapeze act, while Leigh plans a return to architecture studies.
