Stadio Carlini-Bollesan is a rugby union venue in Genoa with a synthetic grass field and seating for roughly 5,700 spectators. The facility also houses a velodrome track and serves as home to several local sports teams.
Construction began in 1912 with funding from the Nafta oil company and the facility opened officially in 1927. It became an important venue for rugby development in Italy and hosted matches that influenced the sport's growth.
The venue carries the names of two influential Italian rugby players who shaped the sport in Genoa. Today it remains a gathering place where local rugby supporters come together to watch and celebrate the game.
The venue is easily accessible and offers good sightlines from various seating areas throughout the grounds. Parking is available nearby and public transportation connections make it convenient for visiting.
The complex was designed with plans for three underground levels intended for future transportation infrastructure and additional sports facilities. These ambitious subsurface plans reveal the original vision for a modern stadium complex.
