✓ Italy's first private stadium: Built in 1995, modelled on English grounds with stands close to the pitch. Excellent sightlines and a compact, intense atmosphere.
✓ The moat — and the fishing: A water-filled moat surrounds the pitch. Water flows from a local river, and fans have genuinely been seen fishing from the stands mid-match — a uniquely Italian matchday curiosity.

✓ Documentation required: Ticket + valid photo ID. Tickets via VivaTicket — buy online in advance. Personalised, non-transferable.
