Francesco Lentini (July 8, 1884 - September 22, 1966) was an Italian-American showman. He was born with a parasitic twin. The twin was attached to Lentini's body at the base of his spine and consisted of a pelvis bone, a rudimentary set of male genitalia and a full-sized leg extending from the right side of Lentini's hip, with a small foot protruding from its knee. At the age of 8, his family moved to the United States, where he entered the sideshow business as The Great Lentini.
