PalaGuerrieri, Indoor sports arena in Fabriano, Italy
PalaGuerrieri is an indoor sports arena in Fabriano, built mainly of wood, with about 4,050 seats arranged only in two grandstands along the long sides of the court. There are no curved sections behind the baskets. It was declared unusable in April 2021 because of structural damage.
The arena was inaugurated in March 1983 with Honky Fabriano against Victoria Libertas Pallacanestro (83-79), the last matchday of the 1982-83 Serie A1 season, Fabriano's first in the top division. From 1996 to 2002 it was called PalaIndesit for sponsorship. In 2002 it was named after Giuliano Guerrieri, coach of Fabriano Basket from its founding until 1979, who took the club from the lower divisions to Serie B; a city petition backed the choice and the ceremony was held on 12 May 2002 before a Serie A playoff game against Victoria Libertas.
