Giuseppe Chiarini (1823-1897) was an Italian-born equestrian and international circus director.

## Early history[edit]

Signor Giuseppe Chiarini was born in Rome, Italy in 1823.[1] His father was a trick rider and trainer of horses.[2]

## Circus life[edit]

On June 28, 1852, Chiarini performed an equestrian act at the Astley's Royal Amphitheatre Programme.[3]

In 1856, he started touring the island of Cuba under the Royal Spanish Circus. He later adopted the name Chiarini's Royal Italian Circus, also known as Chiarini's Circus and Menagerie, acting as the manager and proprietor.[4]

Chile's president presented Chiarini with an Italian stud named "Garibaldi". Maximilian I of Mexico reportedly bestowed Chiarini with a white Arabian thoroughbred named "Abd-el-kader" on his visit to the country.[4]

In 1884, Chiarini made an appearance with his renowned circus in Adelaide, Australia.[5]
