PalaIper, building in Monza, Italy
PalaIper is a multi-purpose indoor hall in Monza, northern Italy, used for sports events, concerts, and large-scale shows. The main covered arena can be reconfigured depending on the type of event taking place.
In 1996 the municipality of Monza, after rejecting two costly designs, asked Desio for permission to build a hall similar to the PalaDesio. Desio granted free use of its executive plan, so the Arena di Monza is a reduced-capacity replica of the PalaDesio. It has since been known under the sponsored names PalaCandy, PalaIper and Candy Arena, and from 18 October 2023 as OpiquadArena.
It is worth checking the event calendar ahead of time since the program changes regularly. The hall sits in an accessible part of Monza and has parking nearby for those arriving by car.
The hall has changed sponsor names several times: PalaCandy, PalaIper, Candy Arena, and since 18 October 2023 OpiquadArena, after Opiquad, a digital innovation firm based in Merate with offices in Chicago. The current name is thus the fourth commercial identity of the building.
