Quite similar to Piramal was Jean Libbera, who displayed his parasitic twin, Jacques. Jean and Jacques were born in Rome in 1884 into a family of thirteen children — one of whom also had a parasitic twin but did not survive.

Libbera toured the United States for many years, earning a handsome living from his brother. He married and had four children, eventually retiring from the business and moving with his family back to Italy. Jean (and Jacques) passed away in 1936
