Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia
football stadium
Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is a multi-use stadium in Como, Italy. It is primarily used for football matches as the home ground of Como 1907. The stadium has a capacity of 13,602 spectators.
Completed in 1927, it was built on the orders of Benito Mussolini and was designed by architect Giovanni Greppi. Its construction represented one of the first examples of rationalist architecture in Italy; it is named after rower and war hero Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a native of Como, who died in the First World War.
The stadium is owned by the Municipality of Como, which grants it for use by the Como football club for its home matches.
History
As the city of Como lacked a stadium, it was decided to build it on the occasion of the 1927 Celebrations for Alessandro Volta, a native of Como. Work began in October 1926 on the site of a pre-existing ground. Back then, the stadium was equipped with two tracks: a 500-metre velodrome and a 450-metre track and field for athletics, which surrounded the 7200-square-metre football pitch: the total capacity of the stands was 6,000 people.
After the enthusiastic approval of the then CONI president Lando Ferretti, the stadium was inaugurated on 30 July 1927 and dedicated to Giuseppe Sinigaglia (1884-1916), a war volunteer decorated for valour who died on Mount San Michele during a war action.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
