Unipol Arena in Bologna

Located in Casalecchio di Reno, Province of Bologna, Italy, the Unipol Arena is a modern multifunctional complex renowned for its impressive capacity and variety of events. Since opening in December 1993, the arena has become a significant venue for basketball matches and concerts, offering 11,000 seats for sporting events and up to 20,000 seats for music performances.
