Bologna has approved the redevelopment project for the Dall'Ara stadium The restyling works will be followed by Fincantieri Infrastructure

Bologna Stadio, a company owned by Bologna F.C., has signed a partnership agreement with Fincantieri Infrastructure, a subsidiary of the Fincantieri Group, for the design and implementation of the redevelopment and modernization works of the ''Renato Dall’Ara'' stadium.

At a time when football also needs investments and strategies to start again, this collaboration represents an important initiative to provide the club and the city with a modern and functional infrastructure to meet the current needs of the public and commercial partners.

The desire to start a process of modernization of the stadium will entail not only a enhancement of such an important architectural asset of the city, but also a substantial improvement in the impact that the stadium itself has on the surrounding context.

Once renovated, the Dall'Ara Stadium will be able to accommodate about 27,000 spectators and will host, in addition to the functions strictly connected to the sporting event (changing rooms, media area, hospitality), also tertiary and recreational destinations. All grandstands will be very close to the pitch creating a ''stadium in the stadium''. The existing curves will be replaced with new stands with a steel structure and prefabricated steps. The spaces between the perimeter wall and the new steps will be used for recreational activities that will be functional and independent even during the match-day. The new West and Distinct grandstands will instead be built in ''overlap'' with the existing ones.

The coverage of the stadium, a fundamental element of aesthetic and functional qualification of the system, will be studied with a lentiform shell type, covered with opaque aluminum and translucent panels, in polycarbonate, which form a shell consisting of 3 ''rounds'' which they overlap each other allowing light and air to pass.

Thus a modern and safe system comes to light, an incomparable, special and exclusive space where the game is the culmination of a whole day of joy and serenity.
