  • Mediolanum Forum, Opened in 1990 and Is the Main Covered Polyfunctional Venue in the North of Italy
    The Forum of Milan, which is today called Mediolanum Forum, opened in 1990 and is the main covered polyfunctional venue in the north of Italy. Along with the PalaLottomatica in Rome, which is also managed by the ForumNet Group, the Mediolanum Forum is the only Italian structure to be included in the prestigious EAA (European Arenas Association), which features the most important European arenas. The building is arranged over three floors and has a total area of 40,000 sqm. Thanks to its modularity and suitability for any type of event, over the years it has become a point of reference for the biggest international events, including concerts with the most famous artists, sporting events of primary importance, shows, conventions, fairs, exhibitions, competitions and television productions as well as smaller events, such as gala dinners and pre or after show activities. The Mediolanum Forum offers various internal spaces with different dimensions and characteristics. These can be used simultaneously or independently, as required by the type of event. As well as the Central Arena, the venue offers the Premium, Gallery and Gold Halls, the Quota Otto spaces and various external spaces. The Arena’s upper tier (Quota Ventuno) hosts the “Sky Belvedere”, a refined environment which directly overlooks the parterre and which can be exclusively reserved for press conferences, meetings and corporate hospitality activities. The Mediolanum Forum has ample dedicated parking facilities and will soon have a dedicated stop on Line 2 of the Milanese Underground. Mediolanum Forum Via G. Di Vittorio, 6 - 20090 Assago (MI) - Tel. +39 02 488571 - Fax +39 02 48844898 - www.forumnet.it The Mediolanum Forum is situated at the junction between the A7 Milan-Genoa motorway and Milan’s Tangenziale Ovest ring road, at the Milanofiori-Assago exit.

  • Palalottomatica Di Roma È La Più Grande Struttura Per Eventi Della Capitale
    Il PalaLottomatica di Roma è la più grande struttura per eventi della Capitale. Con il Mediolanum Forum di Milano, condivide la presenza nella prestigiosa EAA (European Arenas Association), che riunisce le più importanti arene a livello europeo. Costruito su progetto dell’architetto Pierluigi Nervi in occasione delle Olimpiadi di Roma del 1960, il Palazzo è considerato uno dei capolavori del razionalismo italiano, ed è stato restituito alla città nel 2003 a seguito di un importante intervento di riqualificazione a cura di ForumNet. La sua facciata è stata ulteriormente abbellita da una personalizzazione ispirata alla “smorfia” napoletana, progettata da Massimiliano Fuksas. Il PalaLottomatica, oltre a rappresentare una tappa obbligata per i concerti delle più grandi star italiane ed internazionali della musica, ospita regolarmente grandi eventi sportivi, spettacoli, convention aziendali, manifestazioni fieristiche e concorsi. Lo Staff del PalaLottomatica è in grado di fornire al cliente un’ampia gamma di servizi e di mettere a disposizione una rete di fornitori qualificata per le esigenze di ogni tipo di allestimento.

  • It Is Possible to Build Basketball Arenas in Italy
    It is possible to build Basketball Arenas in Italy Underdeveloped System In the last 20 years in the best sports leagues, teams developed the idea of the stadium from “a place where to play” to “a place where entertain the supporters” now called Arena. In the NBA, for example, the franchises are obligated to observe a standard of supporters turnout, merchandising selling, quality of service and many others. It is well known the case of Milwaukee Bucks that in 2013 were forced to change the stadium from then-deputy NBA commissioner Adam Silver that toured the arena and found it unbefitting of an NBA team, the NBA issued a mandate requiring the Bucks to relocate or be close to completion of a new facility by 2017. Exactly four years later the franchise left the old Bradley Center and they moved to the Fiserv Forum that was inaugurated on 3rd October 2018 when Bucks played their inaugural game during the preseason against the Chicago Bulls. Now the Fiserv Forum is one of the most modern Arena in the NBA and it hosts not only Bucks games, but also many concerts, exposition and other sports events. In the first 365 days has been used more than 100 times and it has made to record one of the highest turnout rates of the NBA. In Italy, on the other hand, teams keep playing obsolete and outdated “Palazzeti” that certainly cannot compete with the US Arenas but not even with the European ones. The most of the complex date back to ‘80s or early ‘90s, the golden age of Italian basketball and time when the entrepreneurs were encouraged to build new infrastructure to develop their brand and invest on youth academy.
