| − | The [[Italian Circus]] circus which appeared in the Cape in 1847, managed by [[Dalle Case]] and [[Signor Severo]]. They staged a variety of circus-style programmes, most probably including [[Equestrian Gymnastics|equestrian gymnastics]], which [[Dalle Case]] had done in London. F.C.L. Bosman mentions a number of "laughing pantomimes" done by [[The Italian Circus]] in 1847-8: The Cooper of Venice ,

Bosman]] (1928, p. 437, f.2) notes a [[Signora Dalle Case]] (is this supposed to be ''signor''?), who performed on the borders of the Cape toward the end of 1850 and then appears in Natal in 1852, performing with a number of wild animals, as in traditional South African circusses.
