Did they possibly misspell his first and last name, or ....?

Much less of a problem if they had booked Francis Brunn.

I've seen the first name most often as Maximilliano or Massimiliano, but always the last name has been Truzzi until I saw this. We need a family member to set us straight.

It seems that spelling was often

left up to typesetters discretion

very likely from oral instructions

Tuzzi was indeed one of the great jugglers of all time and was trained by Rastelli. If you google his name you can find a rundown of his act written by Marcello, his son, who was a well known professor who died a few years back.

The Truzzis were good friends of the Heyers of Starless Night fame.
