Velodromo Vigorelli, Sports venue in San Siro district, Milan, Italy

The Maspes-Vigorelli Velodrome features a 397-meter wooden track and a synthetic turf football field with a total capacity of 9,000 spectators.

After its construction in 1935, the velodrome became the primary location for setting hour cycling records until 1967, surviving wartime damage and reconstruction.

The velodrome transcended sports by hosting notable music performances, including a concert by The Beatles in 1965 during their European tour.

The facility received a modern lighting system in 2021 with 186 luminaires providing over 700 Lux illumination across all runway sectors.

Ernest Mills and Bill Paul established a tandem cycling record of 49.991 kilometers in 1937, which remained unbroken for more than sixty years.
