Via B. Bianco, 2 Genoa 16127 Italy +39 10 23 3688 |
In the centre of the Lagaccio valley, between the chaotic Via Napoli area and the quiet hills, this is a public sports facility. There is a strong wind from the hills which makes playing football here a bit of an effort, but there are other sports on offer here and this is one of the few places in Genoa where you can have a game of hockey. The national hockey federation has just sponsored new changing rooms here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sports and concert stadium |
Via Clavarezza Genoa 16139 Italy http://www.comune.genova.it |
Built for the Italian championships in 1990 and designed by the Architect Vittorio Gregotti, who also planned the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, this has been called, 'the first stadium for the visually impaired'. This is because the spectators in the back had almost a non existent view when this was first opened. The solution to this was to raise the entire playing field almost a meter. The main entrance still preserves some parts of the former stadium, including four angular towers and also hosts the reflectors and the mega screens. The stadium hosts local football matches and music concerts. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Swimming pool and more |
Via Adamoli Genoa 16141 Italy http://www.comune.genova.it |
Coming from the city center and taking the fast road to the left shore of the Torrente Bisagno, one can't help being struck by the great, black profile of the covered swimming pool of Sciorba. Similar to a hangar, this transforms into an open air pool, by taking off the motorized cover, which is an excellent solution to the Genoan climate. It only takes a few minutes to take the cover off and so it can always be a last minute decision depending on the weather. This is one of the best municipal, sports centers, planned by the architect Zoppini in 1992, it has four pools, two of which are covered and an Olympic pool with a gallery for 600 people. During the summer season the area of Sciorba becomes 'another beach' for the city, and is especially favored by people who don't have the time to go to the sea and can take advantage of the large parking facilities.
