Everything about The Stadio Flaminio totally explained
The
Stadio Flaminio is a stadium in
Rome. It lies along the
Via Flaminia, three kilometres northwest of the city centre, 300 metres away from the Parco di
Villa Glori. It is now the home of
Italy rugby union national team in its
Six Nations tournament home matches.
With a capacity of 30,000 (8,000 covered) it's the smallest of the Six Nations stadiums. It is no longer considered big enough for the Italian national team and there are reports that that'll be moving to
Genoa (External Link
). The Stadio Flaminio is also the home of
A.S. Cisco Roma, an association football team playing in
Serie C/2 division.
The interior spaces include a covered
swimming pool, rooms for
fencing,
amateur wrestling,
weightlifting,
boxing and
gymnastics.
History
A first Stadio Flaminio had been built in
1927 on the site of an older stadium constructed in
1911 for the fiftieth anniversary of the
Unification of Italy. This first stadium was built for the
Partito Nazionale Fascista. The current stadium was built in July
1957 on the site of a stadium with the same name. The design was by
Pierluigi and
Antonio Nervi.
Usually devoted to
football matches, since
2000 the Stadio Flaminio has also been the home of the
Italy national rugby union team.
In 1990,
Madonna (entertainer) performed to a sold out crowd during her highly anticipated and most controversial world tour,
Blond Ambition Tour, in which
Pope John Paul II urged fans to
boycott the musical extravaganza.
