History

About Stadio Renato Dall'Ara

The ground was built from 1925 as the Stadio Littoriale, designed by Umberto Costanzini and Giulio Ulisse Arata, and its first match was Italy v Spain on 29 May 1927. It was renamed Stadio Comunale in 1945 and has carried the name of Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna's president for some thirty years, since 1983. The Torre di Maratona on the east side was completed in 1929. It hosted matches at the 1934 and 1990 World Cups and was extensively rebuilt for 1990, with extra rows added top and bottom and a new cantilevered roof.
