VisitaMilano

 Giuseppe Meazza - San Siro Stadium
It is the largest stadium in Italy, and the fourth largest stadium in Europe. Designed exclusively as a football venue, the G. Meazza Stadium in S. Siro consists of two tiers, accessible by overlapping external entrance ramps that completely surround it, giving it a unique characteristic. The sliding roof completely covers the seating arrangement by using a metal rectangular structure that holds a roof covering made of vaulting transparent fiberglass plates. Under the southern terrace, you will find the Inter and Milan Museum.

 Idroscalo
The Idroscalo is a large basin fed by spring waters and those originating from the Martesana Naviglio. It was opened as an airport for seaplanes in 1930. In 1960, the Idroscalo made its mark in the collective memory and in the history of cinema: indeed, the most famous footage from the film "Rocco e i suoi fratelli" - the masterpiece of the famous producer Luchino Visconti - was filmed along its banks. This body of water is now the heart of a large natural park just outside Milan which offers a wide range of spaces for free time and it can be enjoyed year round. A meeting place in warm weather, in part thanks to the numerous shows and events organised in summer, it is used all year as a site for water sport competitions. National and international events are held here periodically. Sports activities of all levels are practiced including canoeing, sailing, rowing, water skiing, wakeboard, wakeskate and kitesurf. There are plenty of pools, tennis courts, football pitches, a horse riding centre, cross-country and mountain bike paths, free climbing facilities, volleyball and basketball courts, a skating area, inline-skating track, convention halls, spaces for concert, theatre performances and exhibitions. There are also restaurants and cafes, and entertainment for the young and old. The eastern part of the basin is home to the natural oasis "il Laghetto delle Vergini", a protected area filled with plants and rich in fish species. The butterfly path winds around inside it: a path where visitors can observe various butterfly species.

 Ippodromo di Milano
The racecourse and track were both built at the beginning of the 20's, having been designed by Paolo Vietti-Violi, on an area that already played host to horse activities in the 1800's. Within it is the horse created in the United States on the basis of the drawings by Leonardo, under the guidance of the sculptor Nina Akamu.

 Mediolanum Forum
The large structure houses important entertainment and sporting events thanks to over 40,000 metres squared of a covered area that include 20,000 metres squared of multi-gym and the central arena with a capacity for over 11,000 people. Built in 1990, it was awarded the European Architecture Prize for sporting structures assigned by CONI and the Council of Europe.

 Palaghiaccio Agorà
The "Agorà" ice rink has been open for more than 15 years and is presently the largest sports centre in Milan for ice sports. It is equipped to host national and international events and cater for ice sport enthusiasts.

 Palalido
The Palalido, built in 1961 close to Milan Lido was, for some time the "temple" of Milanese basketball and its history, at least a part of it, closely intertwines with that of "Olympic Basketball in Milan" even though it was often used for other sports, concerts and all kinds of events. Nowadays, the Palalido has been completely restored and has 800m² of seating area and can hold up to 3,500 spectators, hosts important sporting events throughout the year, concerts, conferences, exhibitions and much more.

 Palasesto
Palasesto is the Sports Palace of Sesto San Giovanni. A variety of activities can be enjoyed inside including ice skating on two rinks, one on top of the other.

 The Civic Arena Theatre
Completed by Luigi Canonica in 1806. The elpitical amphitheatre (m. 238 x 116), has the seating capacity for up to 30.000 spectators. The construction contains salvaged materials from the Castello fortress that had recently been demolished at the time. The structure was used as a theatre during the Cisalpine Republic and Italic Kingdom.

 Velodromo Maspes Vigorelli
The Vigorelli velodrome was founded in 1935. The idea of a semi-covered velodrome is owing to Giuseppe Vigorelli, a Milanese entrepreneur. The Vigorelli immediately became a prestigious reference point for the sporting passion of the population of Milan. Its smooth flowing track attracts racers from all over the world. It is the site of memorable challenges, world records, championships, it is the arrival point of important on-road races, the Giro d'Italia, the Giro di Lombardia and the Trofeo Baracchi. During the summer of 1944, during World War II, fire bombs rained down on Milan. The Vigorelli was hit and the track was destroyed. It would later be re-built in 1945. In its over sixty years of history, the Vigorelli has also hosted many rock concerts. On the 24th of June 1965 the Beatles held their only Italian concert there. After a lengthy decline of the structure which lasted 30 years, the Vigorelli reopened, completely restored on the 10th of April 1977.
