A circus which appeared in the Cape in 1847, managed by Dalle Case and Signor Severo. They staged a variety of circus-style programmes as well as several pantomimes at the Victoria Theatre and the Garrison Theatre in Cape Town. In February 1848, the partners went their separate ways, each with his own circus (Dalle Case continued with the Italian Circus alongside his other theatrical enterprises, while Signor Severo started an African Circus). The Italian Circus folded later in 1848, when Case apparently left show-business for other enterprises.
