It has traditionally competed in various disciplines. In football, the club's representative team competed in the First Division of Peru from 1926 until 1934, when it was dissolved. 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. The merger of both clubs meant that the club also owned the site of the former Società Canottieri Italia, located in Coronel Bolognesi Avenue at La Punta (Callao). In Pueblo Libre, a was built, which was inaugurated by Leguía himself in 1922[1] but eventually irreparably damaged by the earthquake of 1940.
