Villa Gentile

Villa Gentile, Athletics stadium in Sturla, Italy.

Villa Gentile is an athletics facility in Genoa with a complete running track and training equipment for multiple sports disciplines. The grounds include dedicated areas for throwing events, jumping competitions, and other track and field activities.

Villa Gentile was inaugurated in 1971, built through the efforts of Tullio Pavolini, after whom it is unofficially named. The site had previously held an old villa that was later converted into a military hospital. In 1979 and 1992 the facility hosted the finals of the Giochi della Gioventù, and it has also staged several finals of the Italian youth club championships.

The name Villa Gentile recalls the villa that once stood on the site, later a military hospital; the facility is unofficially dedicated to Tullio Pavolini, whose efforts led to its construction. Since 1971 it has hosted two finals of the Giochi della Gioventù, in 1979 and 1992, and for over 30 years the Trofeo Davoli, a national middle-distance race. Clubs such as CUS Genova, SS Trionfo Ligure and Universale Don Bosco train here.

The facility is located at Via Brigata Salerno 6 in Sturla and serves multiple athletic clubs in the area. Visitors should note that this is primarily a training venue with specific access hours that should be respected.

Villa Gentile is named after Tullio Pavolini only unofficially: it was built through his work as a club official. The land had earlier held an old villa, later turned into a military hospital. The track was resurfaced and the whole facility reopened to the public on 11 August 2025 after phased renovation works.
