Abstract: We generalize the following classical result of Fubini for pseudo-Riemannian metrics: if three essentially different metrics on $M^{nge3}$ share the same unparametrized geodesics, and two of them (say, $g$ and $$) are strictly nonproportional (i.e., the minimal polynomial of $$ coincides with the characteristic polynomial) at least at one point, then they have constant curvature.
