Circolo Sportivo Italiano

The Circolo Sportivo Italiano is a Peruvian sports club located in the Lima metropolitan area.

The club's other sports include paleta frontón, bocce, billiards, fencing, swimming, rowing and tennis.

Later, the Circolo Sportivo Italiano merged with the Società Canottieri Italia, both of which were brought together in the Sociedad Peruana Italiana, and according to its current statutes, it is currently named the Circolo Sportivo Italiano-Società Canottieri Italia.

Originally located at number 1094 of Belén Street, the club's success led to the quick move to a site in the district of Pueblo Libre, behind the country house of then president Augusto B. Leguía (later turned into the Rosa de América, a girls-only school) in Brazil Avenue.

In Pueblo Libre, a modern stadium [es] was built, which was inaugurated by Leguía himself in 1922[1] but eventually irreparably damaged by the earthquake of 1940.
